Offering Free Homestay in Singburi Thailand in Exchange for Short Term ESL (非母语英语课程) Teaching Peetim’s ESL Homestay offers volunteers lodging (寄宿), food, laundry and Thai culture in exchange for teaching English in her private schools. Peetim’s homestay is in a village near Singburi, a small town about 2 hours’ drive north of Bangkok. Her home is spacious, safe, clean, and quiet. There are several bedrooms, bathrooms, and classrooms — and some refrigerators in different spots. Every room has reliable, fast wifi. It’s only 10 minutes’ drive to KFC and 5 minutes’ drive to a large supermarket. Besides, several small stores are within walking distance. A motorbike into town is 60 baht (铢，泰国货币单位) roundtrip.
Peetim’s husband has a large mat for teaching Thai boxing. You can prepare your lessons and Peetim can provide you with curriculums. Student skill level is pretty low, so plan to teach basic vocabulary and simple conversations. Pictures and videos are great. For the younger learners, use plenty of games and songs. Peetim’s housekeeper doesn’t speak English, but Peetim is fluent. She can provide you with an invitation letter to get a volunteer visa for up to 3 months at 2700 baht. The homestay is free, but many volunteers pay Peetim as much as several thousand baht per month. Utilities (公用事业) in Thailand are 1000-3000 baht, depending on electricity use. Food in Thailand is 100-300 baht, depending on your diet and appetite. Peetim communicates through Facebook rather than by email.
