Because Bangkok does not have any beaches or islands, the go-to activity is The Amazing Race. The highly active and experiential event is a race using any means of transport necessary – and because of the traffic in Bangkok, this version uses public transport and tuk-tuks. If you want to develop your team’s ability to perform quickly and efficiently under pressure, this is the activity for your business.
Groups must follow instructions to get to each destination, where they will find clues. Along the way, they will face many challenges, all of which reflect the local flavour of the location. In a city the size of Bangkok and with such a rich history and culture, the challenges can be very diverse!
Imagine trying to locate and buy a unique item in one of Bangkok’s many street markets. Other cultural activities might be:

This activity will also keep your teams under pressure and encourage them to explore and interact with new people and cultures in a novel environment.
The natural beauty of the jungle is the scene for this activity. In Bangkok, this activity takes place at the beautiful Khao Yai National Park, located about 90 minutes away by car. If you want your team to embrace their inner adventure and take more risks, this is the bangkok activities for adults. Using various means of transportation such as hiking, mountain biking, and flying through the jungle on canopy lines, they must show courage and innovation to find the hidden locations.
Each group gets a set of maps, a compass, and instructions to begin their journey. Challenges will come at them quickly, some quick-paced to test their mental and physical agility, others longer to test their endurance and stamina. The teams race against the clock to see which is the winning group of jungle adventurers – an adventure sure to inspire some playful competition and innovative risk-taking back in the workplace!

Just outside of Bangkok is the delightful Rose Garden, which has an organic farm and a self-contained site with many different cultural activities to do. These include a local market, arts and crafts centre, Thai painting classes and Thai culinary courses.
These are valuable activities for your team to develop their collaboration and communication skills and showcase your company’s values and ethos.
The recycling projects encourage your team to work with a local municipality to educate the public and locals about sustainable practices. It also allows them to work together to clean an area such as a beach or a school.

Bangkok has an eclectic mix of things to do. The place to begin, however, is the Grand Palace.
The palace lives up to its name. It contains the temple of the Emerald Buddha, known as Wat Phra Kaew, which is a must-see. A small, emerald and gold adorned Buddha dons a cloak that the king himself changes every season.
Located within the beautiful walls of the Wat Pho temple, or The Temple of the Reclining Buddha, there is the enormous Reclining Buddha. Visitors will also find beautiful murals with more than 400 depictions of the Buddha and plenty of beautiful green space to explore within the magnificent walls.
Bangkok is famous for its many markets where you can go and explore and barter – such as the Chatuchak weekend market, one of the biggest flea markets in the world. A place where you can buy almost anything you want – if you look hard enough!
Food is central to Thai culture too, and there are many stalls and restaurants to grab some delicious traditional cuisine. Khao San Road is famous for its nightlife, bars, restaurants and entertainment.
