Itinerary

Get ready for an action-packed, team-based adventure across Koh Samui, inspired by the famous TV show The Amazing Race. Teams will race from one cultural challenge to the next, using minivans or public transport. Here’s how it works: Start the Race: Each team receives an instruction card outlining the first challenge. Local Cultural Riddles: Solve riddles at culturally significant locations that relate to the local history, landmarks, or traditions. These must be answered correctly before moving on. Cultural Activity Challenges: Participate in hands-on activities like Batik painting, Muay Thai boxing, Thai dancing, and cooking a traditional Thai dish. Professional instructors guide each challenge, and your performance is judged. Race to the Finish Line: Compete through multiple challenges, solving clues and completing tasks. The first team to finish wins! Along the way, experience Thailand’s culture, learn new skills, and explore the island’s most iconic spots. Test your teamwork, strategy, and wits in this exciting, high-energy race that brings you face-to-face with Koh Samui’s hidden gems, local traditions, and unforgettable sights.
