fair dinkum Thai culture - it's a basic but so cheap but not for everyone.
Feedback: love it - hated it??? – culture shock, mixing it with the people, shock the system, not my cup of tea, out of comfort zone, Fantastic, Fabulous.
Leadership: Tour requires each person to make multiple decision, Dinner is “out of comfort zone”, Nightlife is perception chaos – assess the difference between a knee jerk and a reflex”
Feedback on the Hotel – Royal President – Soi 15
Rating1 to 10 (10 is best) and comments
·9 Excellent spacious rooms and big beds. Loved the facilities and used the gym most mornings. Breakfast offered a variety of tasty food to suit everyone. A four star hotel by Western standards (but only half the price).
·10no complaints. Wonderful atmosphere and nice big rooms. Breakfast was awesome. Convenient location and the gym was very useful. Also very convenient is the general store right next door.
·9Wonderful and clean. Air conditioning and bed were very comfortable and the hotel was in close proximity to shopping, massage and restaurants/night life. Excellent value for money.
·10Great value for money and will definitely stay there again. Breakfast offered lovely fresh food. Clean & big rooms. Very happy.
·9 Good facilities. No negatives. Air conditioning sometimes not cold but it out. Gym was handy.
·7Nice and clean. Good breakfast. Only problem was the toilet broke twice, but they fixed it straight away.
·8 Great breakfast, used the pool, the room got stuffy sometimes. There was a peculiar odour (not overbearing) but this was fixed by getting some Glen 20 from the 7/11 shop. Perhaps bring car air-freshener if they are sensitive..
·7 had to swap rooms as the first room allowed smoking (smell was overbearing). Make sure you specify NO SMOKING. Breakfast was excellent. Very clean.
The Amazing race is "awesome".. To donate to an Aussie effort for charity Bangkok was special - see more Too much to do, developed into a great day, Great but time was an issue, never done before, good fun, absolutely loved it, absolutely loved it
Brilliant but so unfair - we only got to see half the cabaret show as we set time for skybar tours. Fantastic not enough time, excellent, what a place – really enjoyed, great night out, excellent, excellent.
These places are diamonds - when your that high up - you are "on a high" Fantastic, gob smacked (1 was enough) outstanding, spectacular, amazing, excellent, spectacular.

Summary
Pilot tour concept: some events were “on the fly”. The tour is “fastrack”; an entrée of Menu Bangkok
The objective: “reward for achievement” infuse work dynamics of team building, tourism and Hospitality
Feedback from the tour guests:
days started too late, wasted mornings, originality, need more time for the tailor, need to be clear about communication system, not enough time to get ready for dinner, more planning to give time to relax, can not give enough praise to the PA’s, PA’s are the solution they are amazing, lots to do in short time, more planning, people need planning, P.A. helped people get immersed, PA have great attitude, not sure who is the manager. You feel like a local. We gained a new experience, new friendship and a deeper understanding of Thai Culture. The girls are great hosts and made the trip for us.
Feedback by tour host
There is risk and reward associated with new project, we expect obstacles, what we are interested in is “problem solving” and how the team collaborates. We collected feedback about the performance of the tour and the guests.

Not surprised to hear the 1st 'group' tour was sucessful Pricing is insignificant when overall benefits considered, excellent valueThe question is how are you going to find your target market in Aus?
costs Per person (min 4) approx aud$2,500 flight, accom, tours, meals and PA service..
now... consider 1. this such a small cost to protect your assets....!!!! you will reduce the threat of losing staff (replacement cost of key staff is approx $20k (placement fee aud$7,000 to $15,000 + loss of business and training). you will gain team rapport, loyalty, leadership, communication ... all the reasons why successful biz don't think about it - they do it!
Bonus.. if your diligent and focus on target spend items ie., Corporate/Personal you can save at least aud$3000 per person
It's a no brain-er
Everyone is a wins The company achieved their goals The workers (team) achieved their goals ... it's a winner.
