Description

Cultural Discovery – Bangkok Team Building Program Overview

Teams will receive a map, clues, and challenge sheets as they explore different cultural checkpoints across central Bangkok. Each location hosts either a riddle to solve, a local experience, or a hands-on activity that requires teamwork to complete.

The format blends Cultural Riddles (questions about a location or artifact), Cultural Activities (practical mini-challenges), and Bangkok Discovery Tasks (scavenger elements or storytelling). Teams accumulate points as they progress.

More Information

The cultural discovery locations often change depending on the duration of the event, but often include temples, waterfalls and sites of local myth and legend.

The locations for the event are pre-selected, however teams must design their own route.

Teams can earn points by finding the locations, answering the questions correctly and completing the challenges successfully as well as bonus points for budget returned, time back and photo tasks if any. Scoring is done during the event debrief and the team with the most points is the winner.

Insurance and instructor supervision at all times is an important safety factor, and in the event of an emergency of team member withdrawal, transport and medical backup will be standing by.

The event briefing takes place at the starting point of the race, usually in a meeting room or lobby of the client’s hotel or a restaurant. The group is separated into teams and introduced to their facilitators, then the lead facilitator gives an introduction of the event including (safety) instructions and objectives for the activity.

During the debrief, the facilitator discusses the event challenges and asks each team questions to assess their performance before announcing the winning team (if applicable).

Briefing and debrief usually take around 15 minutes each but can be extended for more in-depth analysis of team performance.

The half day program is up to 4 hours and includes up to 6 locations and the full day up 8 hours and includes up to 10 locations.
