Amazing Race: Recommended Team Building Program in Phuket

Like in Bangkok, our best-selling program in Phuket is our take on an Amazing Race. The beachside streets of Patong are usually the backdrop for this program and they offer an exciting and high-energy team adventure. Traditional local transportation, some very odd characters and Patong’s vibrant ‘culture’ all ensure a memorable experience for participants.

If you fancy something less energetic, our cooking challenge is a great option within your hotel grounds and offers one of the very best challenges in which to experiment with teamwork fundamentals.

Phuket: A Mix of Classy Lifestyles and Tropical Island Vibes

The island of Phuket has been a top destination for MICE groups for over 20 years and remains the first choice for many. A sophisticated resort destination, it offers everything one may need for a successful MICE event. Team building in Phuket is a big part of our company’s operations and has been for many years.

The hotel industry is well developed with many of the major international hotel chains maintaining properties here. A large number of direct flights from international destinations means Phuket is easily accessible for most MICE groups from across APAC and even further afield.

There are also some highly experienced DMCs and event management companies on the island who we have been working closely with for many years. These companies offer the very best service for accommodation bookings, transport options, dinner venues, excursions, audio/visual provision, and full event and conference management.

If it’s a beach destination you are looking for, Phuket has it all. Its long history with MICE groups ensures that you’ll find experienced partners to work with and its long list of attractions coupled with top quality accommodation and meeting venues, beach clubs, and quality restaurants mean that Phuket will fit with the needs of most groups.

Phuket is one of our primary operating centres and our full range of team building options is available here. We continue to innovate in the industry and take team building in Phuket to new heights.

Less Popular Team Building Destinations in Thailand

Phuket, Bangkok and Chiang Mai form the first tier of our team building operations in Thailand. These are our primary destinations. However, as MICE groups continue to seek out new destinations, we’re conducting more and more events in our secondary locations.

Team building in Khao Lak

It’s really quiet and relaxed in Khao Lak and we often recommend it for smaller groups who want to focus on their meetings in an informal environment. It’s a great location to bring senior management together for some efficient work, training, and team building and provides a close-knit atmosphere in which to get to know one another.

Team building in Krabi

Krabi is a laid back beachside town that offers a quieter experience than Thailand’s main destinations. Popular with our Malaysian and Indonesian clients, many people are surprised to learn that it does have its own international airport. It’s a great place for some easygoing meetings and team building and offers the chance to give delegates something different this year.

Team building in Koh Samui

From the moment you arrive at its quaint little airport, you’ll notice that Koh Samui manages to balance chilled-out, island-life vibes with sophisticated beach resort offerings. For corporate groups Koh Samui offers something a little different, an island getaway with luxury hotel and restaurant options, gorgeous beaches, and memorable experiences.

Top Team Building Destinations in Thailand

We conduct team building programs all over Thailand but our three primary operating centres are Phuket, Bangkok and Chiang Mai. This is where the majority of MICE groups stay when they visit Thailand and you will frequently find us in one of these locations.

We also operate in several secondary locations.

Team building in Phuket

The island of Phuket has been a top MICE destination for over 20 years and remains the first choice for many. A sophisticated resort destination, it offers everything one may need for a successful team building program. Team building in Phuket is a big part of our company’s operations and it remains our busiest destination.

Team building in Bangkok

Bangkok really needs no introduction. It’s known around the world as an exotic, fun, adventurous city with a real buzz. It’s our favourite city on Earth. Our team building programs in Bangkok are just as fun and adventurous with a full menu of sophisticated indoor and outdoor programs that are well suited to the big city.

Team building in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai has developed over the years from an ‘alternative’ MICE destination that attracted only the more intrepid groups into a thriving MICE hub. Its unique history, culture, and relaxed way of life is a big draw and is showcased well in our Amazing Race Chiang Mai. Team building in Chiang Mai is a great addition to a few days’ stay.

A Surreal Amazing Race in Phuket

There was a time in 2021 when Thailand’s Covid-19 infection rate was very low and, as soon as restrictions were eased and group events allowed to take place once again, our client took the opportunity to get some much needed team building into their meeting schedule.

Our client, an industrial laundry firm, flew ten department heads to Phuket from their headquarters in Chonburi. So, as Amazing Races go, it was a pretty small group. An energetic CEO helped keep energy levels high throughout the program as two teams set off from Hotel Indigo and hit the streets of Patong.

The streets were unusually quiet of course as Thailand’s borders were still closed. There was not a tourist in sight. Shops and businesses were closed. The main shopping centre, Jungceylon, was closed as were most of the 7-11s. It was weird.

What was perhaps even weirder was that two teams were noisily making their way around town in the midst of a team building adventure, fully masked and social distancing. Certainly one of the most unusual races we have operated.

Following the program, we conducted an insightful debrief and facilitated some in-depth discussions on the topics of conflict resolution in the workplace. I guess everyone was a bit stressed out during lockdown and workplace conflict may have been on the rise. Hopefully we were able to shine some light on a few issues and offer strategies to help overcome them.
