Island and jungle based adventure team building activities in Koh Samui will guarantee to inspire and please your staff. The islands and waterways of Anthong National Marine Park, Koh Tan, Koh Mat Sum, Koh Mat Lang, and around Koh Samui make stunning staging locations for our Island Survivor, Treasure Island, Jungle Adventure, and sailing team building exercises. Amazing Chase and By All Means Thailand are great team building activities that not only promote better work ethic but also team dynamics among other tangible results. Teams work together in a number of challenges around the island on the ring road and through this get a full view of the beauty that is here in Koh Samui. It should be noted that if you choose one of the events that involves some travel, especially by boat, then this can add considerably to travel time. Be sure to take a look at our partner hotels in Chewang and particularly Bophut, Maenam, and Lamai, which all have their own ferry and private boat jetty or is located nearby.
Outdoor team building activities on Koh Samui are equally innovative and sure to be a crowd favorite. From the safety of your beach at the hotel we can arrange an exciting Water Regatta team building challenge event with water activities such as paddleboats, kayaks, banana boats, jet skis and more. Outdoor Olympics and Hotel Survivor are two of our other most popular outdoor team building activities. Market Barter is another particularly good team building to sample in Koh Samui with its almost nightly night markets and is a fun opportunity for your staff to show off their negotiation skills.
Our indoor team building activities, which can be held for the most part at our partner hotel, have proven to be popular with our clients for their varied nature. Activities include a selection of team building seminars, Indoor with Fun experiential games, and most notably the culinary team building challenges of Top Chef and Cocktail Shaker Thailand.
CSR has an important role to play in team building and incentive trip tourism in order to help make sure some of the benefits these businesses bring in return to the locals. Your teams will learn about local environmental and communal issues and work together to make a project to help a cause from that issue. Koh Samui’s island beauty led to its rapid development which has led to some people noticing the beaches aren’t as nice as they once were in some places. Choosing to help the environment through mangrove planting, turtle hatching, and beach clear up, among others, are popular ways past clients have chosen to give back to Koh Samui. Our Build a Bike program is another popular choice.
