We are a small, friendly, family operated Travel and
Tour company, situated in the centre of Patong Beach, Phuket Island,
Thailand.
We are authorised Thai Airways Agents and have been in business at
this location since 1998. There was only one travel agency open in
Patong on December 27th 2004, the day after the tsunami devastated
the South East Asian coastlines, Phuket Leisure Travel & Tour staff
worked long hours to assist so many people who needed to leave
Phuket urgently. Fortunately our premises were spared any damage
so we opened our office to assist in changing airline tickets,
organising transport and comforting victims of that terrible natural
disaster. Patong, and Phuket in general, has risen from the ruins
caused by the disaster and is better than ever.
Our service hasn't changed. All of your travel and tour needs can be catered for, plus, we are happy to provide any information, advice, and assistance that you may require. Our team is made up of myself, Paul, my wife Noy, her son Noom, and a lovely young lady, Wan. The fourth "staff member", and an important one at that, is Aussie our "cool" Shih Tzu. He's usually found laying around in the office. We speak Thai, Australian, and some English.
I am originally from Queensland, Australia and have
lived here permanently since 2002. Living here in Patong is
extremely interesting. There's always something happening. After
moving here, I completed a TEFL course to become a qualified EFL
teacher, and taught English to Thai students. This led to me
accepting a job as Phuket Academy Manager & TEFL Course Director
for a well known TEFL course provider. I enjoyed this
position immensely and stayed for three and a half years. I decided
to resign this position in October 2006 in order to pursue other
interests, one of which is building and maintaining this website,
while another is assisting in the travel shop. I will forever be
grateful for the school job because it provided me with the opportunity
to meet so many wonderful people. I highly recommend that anyone who
wants a complete change of lifestyle or simply wants to travel and
work, undertake a TEFL Certificate course. You'll never regret it.
