Introducing Track of the Tiger Corporate Team Building and Special Events

Corporate team building generates stronger team morale and support, the development of problem solving, communication and planning skills, greater cohesiveness amongst employees and most importantly, provides an opportunity for senior management to communicate important messages to their teams.

Over the past 20 years, Track of the Tiger T.R.D. Co., Ltd., based in Chiang Mai, has become one of Thailand’s most professional corporate team building and special events organisers; operating fun and active challenges to suit all corporate requirements.

Clientele
With a client list that includes HP, BP, Reuters, Bayer, O2, Reed Exhibitions, Dell, Deutsche Bank, Pernod Ricard and many smaller organisations, our corporate team building services are professional, effective and well organised by a friendly and outgoing team.

Chiang Mai as a corporate team building destination – high perceived value
Chiang Mai is the ideal city to undertake team building activities and corporate seminar events. With low cost hotels, a plethora of dining and event options, as well as a diverse array of cultural attractions, Chiang Mai offers a significant perceived value. The city is especially popular with Bangkok-based employees, as the cooler weather makes it a highly desirable destination.

Pricing
Corporate team building challenges range in price from Just Baht 2,000/person/day up to Baht 6,000/person/day, depending on the needs, size and location of each event.

Track of the Tiger can organise ALL elements of your trip, including transportation, accommodation, dining plus all additional tours and services – simply contact us with your requirements and we will devise a professional and logical quotation for your review.

Summary of Track of the Tiger corporate team building challenges:

In order to keeps costs acceptable and quality high, Track of the Tiger has created 7 unique and exciting outdoor team building challenges that test the mental and physical strengths of the participants, as well encourage those important team-skills to develop: communication, planning, problem solving and team cohesion. Above all, they are fun, exciting ways to bring your team together.

These 7 team building challenges vary in scope and action – detailed outlines can be viewed in our Team Building and Special Events PowerPoint presentation, available for download here (insert link). Alternatively, if you would like us to email you the 5MB file or send it in print form by registered mail, please let us know.

The Chiang Mai City Challenge (3 - 6 hours)
Teams of 8-12 travel all over Chiang Mai in a Song Thao, undertaking fun and informative challenges designed to increase understanding and appreciation of Chiang Mai, as well as encourage planning and team member involvement. Activity locations include markets, temples, museums, the river, restaurants, shopping centres and involve a range of ‘hands-on’ challenges. A ‘City Challenge’ can be devised in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket or other locations also.

The Baht Builder (3 hours)
Taking place in a large outdoor area, teams of 6-12 “purchase” challenges from our Control Centre using Track of the Tiger Baht; successful completion of challenges earns the team additional Baht… the team with the most Baht at the end is the winner. Challenges can include the Leaky Pipe, Highest Point, Electric Fence and more than 30 other proven team building challenges. Emphasis here is on planning, communication and utilizing the strengths of all team members – a highly popular challenge!

The “A-maze-in Thailand” Race (3 - 4 hours)
Traditionally held in a large and beautiful botanical resort just 15 minutes from Chiang Mai City, teams solve clues and riddles to locate active, outdoor challenges and then ride by bicycle to complete them. Slightly more physical in nature, this challenge requires teams to plan, communicate and strategise the best solution to each problem. This challenge can be held in any large garden/resort environment anywhere in Thailand.

The Lady of the Lake (3 - 4 hours)
Teams must construct a raft from given materials, then paddle out on a lake to obtain riddles. Solving riddles earns the teams points which must then be used to purchase materials and build a bridge over a river. On the other side of the river is The Lady of the Lake who requires rescuing.

The River Trace (4 - 6 hours)
Located at our own Pang Soong Lodge less than 1 hour from Chiang Mai City, teams follow a real jungle river upstream through natural forests, waterfalls and other exciting features. Working together, teams must successfully complete adventure-based challenges, ropes courses and waterfall abseiling to progress to the end. Team cohesiveness is improved as team members provide each other with genuine support and encouragement.

Jungle Survival (3 - 4 hours)
Teams undertake genuine jungle survival challenges; a physical but rewarding team building activity that will ensure teams work together and learn new skills.

The Castaway Coastal Survival Challenge (4 - 8 hours)
Teams have survived a remote airplane crash and no help is on the way. They must find water, catch food, build and maintain a fire, utilise available materials, build a durable shelter and formulate a plan for survival – above all, morale must be kept high!

Track of the Tiger can create a corporate team building event that is customised to suit your needs. Any and all of the above activities can be included – and prices remain structured and realistic.

Workshops and seminars
Due to its lower accommodation prices, varied venues and cultural ‘flavour’, Chiang Mai is fast becoming a popular destination for seminars and corporate workshops. As such, Track of the Tiger can incorporate special traditional activities in to your corporate seminar event i.e. massage, cooking classes, painting, umbrella decoration, wood carving, candle making, Thai dance, photography, yoga, flower arranging, temple banner design, bamboo fan making and many more.

Thailand is a shopping heaven, with quality clothing, gifts and merchandise available at competitive prices. Track of the Tiger can therefore offer the following additional services for its valued clients:

Kad Mua Dinner – “A Local food feast”

A very popular special event is our Kad Mua Dinner. Traditional local ‘vendors’ adorned in traditional dress, serve food from individually decorated  stalls – just like a traditional Thai market, and truly a feast! This often replaces the standard ‘cocktail’ option prior to a dining experience.

After dinner, guests are entertained by a sound and light spectacle that, using the lake as the centerpiece and incorporating actual traditional boats, tells the story of “The River”, a mythological tale of a young boy who falls in love with a river Goddess.

For a couple of hours, guests are transported back in time and become truly absorbed in the event and story, leaving with a real appreciation of La Na culture.

Pre-event and post-event tours

A popular option for many of our clients is including an additional 1-2 days of ‘free time’ prior to, or after, an official team building or special event activity. This allows the participants of your group to see Chiang Mai on their own time. Track of the Tiger, with 20 years of tour-operating experience and a selection of professional, English speaking guides, can accommodate these extra days by offering a series of special pre-event and post-event tours, including:

Shopping tours                          Elephant camps
Spas and relaxation                   Volunteering – we have a range of activities
Adventure activities                    Overnight stays / campfire retreats
Trekking (easy to hard)               Exclusive walking tour of an amazing local garden

Maekok River Village Resort - Ban Thaton.

The resort caters to soft adventure tourists, and in addition has a well established outdoor training centre servicing the International schools market.

The facilities, (team building park, high and low ropes course, assault course, climbing and abseil walls), as well as the terrain of this remote, mountainous border area, and proximity to the Kok river, make the facility an excellent choice for 'retreat style' or 'adventure filled' incentive & team building programmes for groups of up to 50 in number.

Staff & Safety

Our small but experienced team of full time staff is supported by the services of a number of professional team building facilitators, and outdoor education specialists.

Assistant facilitators are drawn from the local universities, where we have an arrangement to provide field experience to 4th year tourism students. These students undergo basic training with us prior to each new team building programme.
