Hi me again, sorry dont mean to flood or spam the forum but one more thing I forgot to ask ..

Does anyone know where I can stay at Phuket for 1 month ? Im on a really tight budget anything between 5-10K baht. 5K sounds good.

I will most likely ( that is if I dont find any other schools) do my CELTA course at ECC - its located at 73/1-2 Rasada Rd Taladyai Muang Phuket.

Also I left my laptop at home and I really need one - I know I am trying my luck but does anyone know where I can rent a laptop in Phuket?

Thanks.

I dont know of any place in thailand that offers a laptop rental or any computer rental to individuals.

You might try the www.ajarn.com forum.

its the main thailand teachers site, somebody on there might know about both questions.

Ask your school - you won't be the first looking for housing. They will know places nearby. There is a street - just off Bangkok Road (I think) - kind of a loop that goes from the Chinese Temple at the west end of the market street (Rasada) and loops around to the circle at the beginning. Walkable to ECC - in that area you will find several places in the 5-8k range - even with A/C for that price.

I have a friend who rents longer-term rooms, but they are in Patong and I don't think you want to be traveling back and forth every day. Phuket Town is full of inexpensive housing though.

EVERY language school helps their students find housing - I am sure ECC is not an exception.
