The Best Time to Visit Phuket for Team Building

High Season vs. Low Season Back in the day, Phuket was a prime destination for tourists between November and April. The traditional “high season”. We then had a “low season” for the rest of the year. It’s during the low season that we get more rain – which, of course, explains why this time of year was named the low …

A Tip For Your Next Team Offsite in Thailand

Finally, Some Face-to-Face Interactions This year, I’ve been working with a lot of tech companies. While many industries (hospitality and aviation especially) were devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic, tech companies thrived as more and more companies shifted their operations online and more people migrated their lives to the cloud (more so than before). Work From Home (WFH) quite suddenly became …

Review: A Week of Team Building in Bangkok

I had been building up to this event since March. The organiser was indeed very organised! As Thailand only loosened its Covid-19 restrictions fully on July 1st, since then it’s been an avalanche of last-minute bookings as companies waited until things got back to normal before committing. This particular tech company took a gamble and started planning way back in …

Snapshot of Team Building in Phuket: May 31 2022

Photo: Part of our popular Amazing Race Phuket. A slight detour for the teams as they headed to a secret beach. It was a bad week weather-wise but we were lucky enough to be given a 5-hour window in which the skies cleared, the torrential rain paused, and the sun even came out. As soon as we finished the event, …

Review: Scavenger Hunt Phuket April 25 2022

What a fun little group this was. 19 participants from the regional offices of a global medical company descended on Phuket at a time when they still had to have RT-PCR tests for covid and run the risk of quarantine. Well done to the organiser for managing the process smoothly and efficiently. I had been asked to facilitate the session …

Review: Raft Building Phuket April 22 2022

You Can Always Rely On The Classics Rafting is one of the oldest and most well-known team building activities in the world. Teams have been building and racing rafts (and falling off them) for decades. Fortunately, the warm waters of Phuket make falling off rather pleasurable. I wouldn’t like to run this activity on a lake in Scotland, in winter, …
