A company picnic is a great way for a company to show appreciation to their employees. It is a way the employees can interact with each other in a fun atmosphere. It’s an opportunity for the employees to mingle and just let their hair down. They help in fostering a team spirit in the company employees and most importantly, prove to be refreshing break from work. It is a great way to make the employees interact informally. Company Picnics are the best time to plan for team building. That is why it is very important for you to plan team building activities. If you invite the families, make sure you have activities set up for all ages.

The location of the picnic is very important. You could treat your employees to a day at an Amusement park. With that, you will have everyone going their separate ways and defeating the purpose of getting everyone together for team building. Plus, that tends to be very costly for the employees. By the time they pay for parking, buy drinks and snacks through out the day, play in the arcade or just playing the carnival games, they would be spending a fortune. Then there is the long endless lines everyone must stand in to wait their turn to get on a ride. Some employees will not show up, due to the extra expenses, especially if they have several children. Another option will be is to bring the fun to the company grounds, such as the parking lot. The event company could set up tents, games and food right on your premises. They could transform the parking lot into a magical fun spot that everyone will enjoy. This is usually better, because it is exclusively for your company. There will be no extra charges for the employees to dish out of their pocket. No company picnics will be complete without some exciting games. Games are the most important part of the picnic. They serve as a break from the same old every day patterns. They are also a great way to bust stress away. Games are the key to team building among the employees; which is why the company hosts a “company picnic”.

Some other great ideas to have at your next company picnic is some Interactive Inflatables such as Inflatable Derby’s, Mechanical Bull, Bungee Runs, Obstacle Courses, Human Bowling, Rock Climbing and 3D Twister.

The Philly Company Picnics could organize some field games such as Tug A War, Treasure Hunts, Volley Ball, Sack Races, Egg Catching, Apple bobbing and even the old time favorite of Musical Chairs. Last but not least, probably the most important, the food. Make sure your menu will satisfy everyone who attends. Along with Hot Dogs and Cheeseburgers have some fun foods such as Cotton Candy, Popcorn and Snow Cones.

One local company that we used recently was The Company Picnic Experts, located in Folcroft, Pennsylvania. They were able to provide everything we needed from the Interactive Inflatable’s, to the Mechanical Rides, to Carnival Tents and the food. My company had a Carnival Theme; which included the tents with games and plush toys. Everyone went home with a gift and memories of a life time. The event was totally free for all the employees and their families. This event company came in and did everything. Their employees where professional and extremely knowledgeable; which made our company picnic a total success. Our employees stated on a survey we took afterwards, that this was the best company picnic yet. We will continue to go with this company in the future, because it was such a success.

Love them or loathe them, mega condo projects continue to be thrown up in Pattaya. However, is this still a good way to go and is the quality of life in a mega condo development really better? Firstly, it would be worth defining what a mega condo project is. In short there is no absolute line in the sand. Some might argue that size alone is a good benchmark. View Talay’s many condominium projects could well fall into the category since each building houses many hundreds of units, with the company’s typical two building developments often providing well over 1000 condominiums. Others point to very high end projects being “mega” on account of their high total project value. Raimon Land’s Northshore is a good example of an up market mega project which has less units overall but which is, in valuation terms, just as big. Tall buildings also find their way into the category. The Sails project and the W tower are also good examples.

The very fact there are still many projects under construction of this caliber suggests that buyers are very happy to live in places which have large numbers of units. Indeed, some would argue that choosing to live in very large condo buildings has many benefits. From the stand point of building regulations, mega condos are typically based on a larger land area and so even in spite of their size they can feel more exclusive than a smaller building in a more built up area. The extra space granted to co-owners is also viable from an economic perspective, with the developer able to cover the cost of much more land by way of the huge number of units available. Car parking space is often ample and traffic rarely a problem as relatively few people drive. Not only that, grounds can be developed with much flexibility, given that there is space to stretch the designers’ imagination.

Whilst most condo buyers expects to have facilities such as a pool and gym in place, mega condo developers are not only able to ensure that the range of facilities on offer is extensive, but that the quality and size can accommodate a large number of users. As such expect to be able to enjoy a large swimming pool and other facilities. On-site shops, restaurants and other services also flourish well in an environment where there are many potential customers. From a design perspective, many of the mega condos are quite cleverly conceived. View Talay for example follows a tried and tested design of building condo’s in long thin buildings near to the beach with a perpendicular orientation and angled balcony doors. As such, virtually evey unit in the project can enjoy a sea view. Quite an impressive feature when you consider that some buildings alone have more than 700 or more units in them. Tall buildings are designed such that unit owners are able to enjoy different aspects of the panorama. For the more exclusive mega projects, developers have gone out of their way to provide buyers with a very exclusive living experience. With taller buildings, land cost savings allow for some truly sumptuous designs and fittings within units.

So what are the disadvantages? Well some might argue that these large projects put a strain on the underlying environment. Water shortages and/or low water pressure may occur if too many mega condos go up. Of course, developers are aware of the requirements for incoming services, such as water and electricity and the design of any structure is fully compliant with all needs in this respect.
