MANATHAI Hotels and Resorts not only offers guests from around the world an attractive choice of unique vacation options in Thailand's most sought-after resort destinations, the group has also introduced imaginative MICE packages to ensure corporate events, conferences and private functions exceed expectations and leave a lasting impression on every participant.
In a bid to escape the noise and pressure of the city, companies around Asia are increasingly choosing to hold important events in resort locations where work, team-building and leisure activities can all become part of the schedule. Both Khao Lak and Koh Samui meet the requirement when it comes to tropical events, and MANATHAI Hotels & Resorts captures the best of each destination with a range of top class facilities and services.
MEET IN KHAO LAK
Nestled in beautifully manicured gardens right next to tranquil Bangsak Beach, MANATHAI Khao Lak offers discerning guests 158 well-appointed guest rooms framed in tropical splendour. The resort includes two exceptional meeting rooms known as Andaman and Similan, offering between 75 sqm and 150 sqm respectively and equipped leading-edge audio-visual systems.
A variety of set-ups including a boardroom, theatre or banquet style are possible, making the function areas ideal for team meetings, lectures, sit-down dinners. Creative concepts and bespoke events are also possible, allowing planners to organise their own treasure hunts, competitions or a "barefoot boardroom" set against a backdrop of magnificent Andaman coastal and mountain scenery.
MANATHAI Khao Lak can also arrange theme parties, and has successfully hosted gatherings based on marine, Thai and pirate concepts. Live music, creative decor and live-cooking stations make these events an unforgettable pleasure.
"We have hosted a number of corporate functions and team-building sessions here for various international corporations and local companies," said John Gill, General Manager of MANATHAI Khao Lak. "We received excellent feedback after each event and several of the companies now return to our resort regularly for their meetings and other activities."
MEET IN KOH SAMUI
For corporate clients that prefer an authentic Thai island experience, MANATHAI Koh Samui provides everything they need for successful, rewarding meetings and events.
Located on tranquil Lamai Beach with a picturesque Thai fishing village backdrop, the resort invites guests to enjoy a productive yet relaxing stay in a colonial-style getaway featuring 148 elegant guest rooms with three generous meeting rooms ranging from 51 sqm to 147 sqm in size.
The meeting rooms are fitted with the latest audio-visual technology and possible set-ups include classroom, u-shape and cocktail style. The resort also features a choice of generous outdoor gathering spaces including a generous poolside terrace for cocktails and networking events. MANATHAI Koh Samui is an appealing venue for seminars, presentations, board meetings, and the beachside restaurant adds further attractive options for special gatherings and celebrations.
"Our corporate customers value the resort's serene location and tropical surroundings. They enjoy the chance to fully focus on their team and to work together more productively than would be possible in an urban setting. Many of our corporate guests have told me they had some of their most innovative ideas during a stay at our resort," said Natalie Kamolwattanasoontorn, General Manager of MANATHAI Koh Samui.
