When Vendor Networks Actually Matter
Last month, a client needed to move their 200-person conference with 72 hours notice. We pulled it off, but not because of some magic formula. Here's what made the difference.
Event Planning Insights
Real stories from the field, practical advice, and honest reflections on what actually works when planning corporate events in Thailand's dynamic business landscape.
The Timing Thing Nobody Talks About
Bangkok traffic isn't just an inconvenience—it's a planning factor that can make or break your event. We learned this the hard way in 2023, and now timing drives almost every decision we make.
Why We Ask About Company Culture
It sounds fluffy, right? But understanding how your team actually interacts changes everything about how we design the event flow. Two companies with identical budgets can need completely different approaches.
What We're Learning in 2025
Hybrid Events Are Settling Into Reality
Remember when everyone said hybrid was the future? Well, it's here, and honestly, it's messier than anyone predicted. The tech works fine now—that part's solved. What's tricky is designing content that works for both audiences without making either group feel like an afterthought.
Sustainability Requests Are Getting Specific
Clients used to ask vaguely about "green options." Now they want to know exact carbon footprints, local sourcing percentages, and waste management plans. We're adapting our vendor partnerships to match. It takes more time upfront, but the conversations are way more productive.
Smaller Venues, Better Experiences
The big ballroom approach is losing appeal. Companies are asking for spaces that feel less corporate, more human. We've started working with boutique hotels and renovated warehouses in Chonburi. The logistics can be trickier, but the atmosphere difference is worth it.
A Word From Kasper
I've been coordinating corporate events in Thailand since 2018. Started in Bangkok, now based in Chonburi working with clients across the eastern seaboard. What keeps me interested is how different every company's needs turn out to be, even when the initial brief sounds identical.
"The best events happen when clients trust us enough to tell us what's not working in their current approach. That's where real planning starts—not with the venue tour, but with understanding what needs to change."
