This past weekend Formica had it's annual Family Day in Thailand. They do things a little differently here than in the U.S. Here it really isn't a family day with kids, wives and husbands. It is the Formica work family going away for a day of fun. But everyone said that I was invited so I went. I was the only non-Formica person there.
They rented 2 double decker buses to travel the 3 hours down the coast to just past Chanthaburi.
The guy on the left is Somchai our driver.
The silver car is our car that Somchai drives Steve and I around in.
And off we go to the party!
After lunch the workers had to do team building games. Steve was picked to lead the purple team in the flipflop toss:
He readied himself (it took a lot of concentration)
He kicked . . .
And he scored! The purple team won!
In the evening we had a dinner. The theme was about wearing the brightest colors.
During the evening we had music, dancing (mostly men with men - another strange custom), a comedian (his routine was in Thai), I wish I could have understood him because everyone was laughing hysterically.
These girls won the contest for most colorful group.
Here is Steve with our driver Somchai (in the wig, with guitar). I don't know who the other guy is.
It was a very interesting night. Unlike any other family day I have been to.
