VTW-001 Day Trip Phetchaburi “Baan Tam Suea”

Team building & Workshops.

Sua Rak Pa Activity

The Tree Bank Project is one of the most outstanding projects of Baan Tam Suea. The main understanding of this project is that all trees have economic value and are a type of asset to the community that can be invested in. Presently, Baan Tam Suea has over 20,000 trees registered with the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives. Furthermore, all tree owners receive annual interest from their own trees to further investments, while the funds received differ depending on the type of tree.

You can participate in the Tree Bank Project by dividing into teams for activities and playing the Withee Sua Rak Pa game. Each team is required to brainstorm and come up with an investment plan for investing in the trees inside the community without making repeat investments. When the time comes to reveal the answers, Phi Noi or Khun Suthep Pimsiri, the Chairman of the Tree Bank, will tell you the value of each tree you invested in as well as their respective uses.

Sua Kluk Din Activity.

Each team has to compete by mixing, churning or doing whatever they can to turn the clay (which has been prepared for them) into a fine mix that is suitable for shaping into seed ammunition. The challenge is to fill as many clay ammunition shells with the clay seeds as possible within a set time. The team that wins the Sua Rak Pa game will have the advantage over other teams in this game because that team will gain the helping hands of “Kla Rak Pa” youths from Baan Tam Suea Community. Due to their extraordinary ammo-making skills, there’s a real chance that their team will win both games.

Thong Muan Nguen Lan Activity.

The “thong muan” dessert of Baan Tam Suea is considered a signature treat that you won’t want to miss out on during your visit to Baan Tam Suea. Thong muan here has just the right amount of sweetness and is very fragrant. You can learn how to make thong muan from masters whose decades of experience are shared with you. They say that thong muan seems to be easy to make, but it really isn’t so easy. Just rolling them up to the right size without breaking is already a daunting task. After a few tries, however, you should get that hang out of it and even be deemed worthy enough to be a winner of this game.

Create product marketing plans for the community.

A chance to brainstorm your thoughts and come up with some creative ideas to design marketing/sales plans for the products in the community. Then, you can design the new packaging while creating branding and story/sales and marketing strategies for products in the community.

Sua Sang Lui Activity.

Hop on a rubber boat for a ride along the river. Make sure you are properly dressed then split into teams on each rubber boat. Prepare to be amazed at the scenery on both banks of the river as the river simply carries you along. As you float by, you will be assigned a mission to locate the “3 Hearts of Tigers”, which are in the form of a slingshot, seed-filled clay ammo and tree saplings, all of which are hidden along the way. You might have to get wet to get them though.
