Team Building Koh Samui
The third largest Island in Thailand, Koh Samui is part of an archipelago of more than 80 islands and includes the Ang Thong National Marine Park. Samui can be circum-navigated in a couple of hours by car or motorbike, but contains such a variety of beaches, activities and cultural sites that it would prove impossible to experience all it has to offer in a single visit.
Among the many beautiful beaches here are the famous ones in Chaweng , Lamai, Taling Ngam and Natien but it is still possible to find one of the many secluded beaches all around the island.
Inland, Samui is home to jungles, National Parks, and many places of historical and cultural interest. Because of the location-rich nature of Samui, it offers incredible variety for your team-building event. Whether island-hopping, jungle-exploring, treasure seeking, or helping in the local communities, Samui is sure to have something to suit your business needs and get your team engaged, working together and finally relaxed.
With a mix of fabulous restaurants and bars, traditional markets, and ample shopping outlets from local crafts to designer labels, make Samui your teambuilding destination for an unforgettable experience.
Suggested team building activities in Samui:
Amazing Race Samui
Samui is the perfect place for an activity like the Amazing Race, with its stunning beaches all around the island, the unspoiled islands that surround it, and the jungles inland. This activity will get your team to work together and explore new and exotic locations. They must throw themselves into new experiences and leave their comfort zones!
Groups of about ten must follow route instructions to find their destinations and the directions for the Amazing Race around the island of Samui. Each destination reveals a new culturally relevant challenge, which each team must work together to solve to reveal the next location.
Jungle Adventure Samui
Jungle canopies, dirt tracks and streams are where this activity takes place. Teams have to orienteer using mountain bikes, canopy lines and under their own steam, all the while testing their courage and commitment to seek adventure and to find the hidden locations around Samui.
The adventure begins in a camp site hidden in the steamy jungle. Each group is given sets of maps, a compass and instructions. The instructions lead the group through the jungle, from waterfall to waterfall, over mountains and sometimes even across the sea to places where either information or clues can be found. The answers found often help the group to find the other locations and complete their quest. Teams race against each other and the clock to finish the route and arrive first back at the campsite.
This team-building activity will develop many skills for your team:
- Improve trust and cooperation among members
- Encourage fun and relaxation
- Learn about themselves and others under pressure
- Develop leadership qualities
- Develop risk management
- Encourage positive thinking, motivation and confidence
- Develop creativity and innovation
