The Baht Builder Challenge – Indoor & Outdoor Options

Teams begin the challenge with a purse of Baht 1,500. (fake money) Their goal is to earn the most money by successfully completing as many challenges as they can.

The Baht Builder takes place in a large, open space (or multiple small spaces) where 18 different challenges – 6 each of (Baht 500.-, 1’000.- and 1’500.- in face value are set up for them to chose from.

Teams must select then buy a given challenge (price equates to difficulty) and then plan, communicate and execute the challenge earning bonuses for early completion. They then select another challenge and continue doing so, striving to earn the maximum amount of money in the time allocated (normally 2-3 hours.)

Challenges are fun and active and will test the ability of every team member to contribute, communicate, plan and solve problems.

The (Chiang Mai) City Challenge

12 challenges areas and a total of 40 plus challenges are located all over the city; and involve: visiting temples, markets and local landmarks, interacting with local people, completing physical and mental tasks, cooking, photography, bartering and more. Points are awarded at each challenge, and the team with the highest number of points at the end wins.

The City Challenge takes 2-4 hrs and can take place in any city or town; we regularly conduct this event in Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Pattaya or elsewhere in the region.

Teams must travel by vehicle and/or public transport to complete as many of the challenges (of their choice) as possible in the allotted time, earning a number of points related to the difficulty of and the time required to undertake each challenge.

Challenges are enjoyable, activity based, often funny and will provide the team with an opportunity to enjoy the sights and the culture of the city see the city whilst also developing their team skills.

The Greater Chiang Mai Challenges (5-8 hrs.)


The Greater Chiang Mai Challenges (5-8 hrs.) follow the same basic format as the ‘City Challenge’ but by expanding the challenge area to include the area surrounding the city we are able to provide a greater diversity of challenges and attractions.

They may therefore include things like: Muay Thai boxing, classical temple dance, rice planting, ploughing the rice paddy using a buffalo instead of a tractor, learning a hill tribe (ethnic minority) dance etc.

They are in effect an ideal day out – an interesting alternative to a conventional tour – programme presented in a format that delivers the benefits of a team building exercise.

The Botanical Garden Adventure Challenge (2-4 hrs.)

Teams begin the challenge by having to solve a riddle. Solving the riddle provides them with a clue to the location of the challenge.

This Amazing Race style challenge (2-4 hrs.) takes place in a very large botanical garden.

6 – 8 different challenges are set up to test the mental & physical skills of each team. Travel between challenges is by bicycle – and avoids the complication of road traffic.

The goal is to complete all challenges in the fastest time. Challenges may include finding items in a maze, padding kayaks to collect information, lighting a flame from a distance, plus silent challenges, blind challenges and more.

Challenges are fun filled and activity based and will test every team members ability to contribute, communicate, plan and solve problems.
