Fun and teamwork were the orders of the day as over 100 Dusit Thani Hotel employees took time off for their annual sports day and staff party.
The Oct. 15-16 celebration at the Pattaya resort saw four teams of staffers engage in a cheerleading contest, three-legged races, tug-of-war, cooperatively sitting on balloons and holding ping-pong balls while passing pillows.
General Manager Chatchawal Supachayanont said the activities are held each year to enhance the staff’s physical and mental health in a relaxed, social environment. It builds teamwork and leads to a better work and social environment, he added.

The staff party that followed let workers put their hair down. This year it followed a theme of “Asiatique Revel Night,” which highlighted the cultures the hotel will get more exposure to once Thailand joins the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015. The fun included a costume contest that had employees dressing up in outfits they deemed most represented their chosen AEC country.
Employees also raised 12,000 baht to be donated to Operation Smile Thailand, which helps children with cleft palates.
