Mission
Bring Phuket’s entrepreneurs together, so nobody has to figure out business on the island alone.
A community of entrepreneurs on the island, built the way American chambers of commerce work. We meet 2–6 times a month to help each other, learn and do business together: business games, workshops, talks and breakfasts.
Rather talk first? Write to the organizers on WhatsApp, Telegram or LINE.
Many of us came to Phuket from somewhere else — others grew up here and watched the island change. Everyone learns local business from their own mistakes. We would rather learn it together.
Bring Phuket’s entrepreneurs together, so nobody has to figure out business on the island alone.
A community where owners know each other by name, share what works and send business to each other.
We meet 2–6 times a month. The game is one of the formats — alongside workshops, talks, breakfasts and evenings.
In American towns, local business owners have gathered in chambers of commerce for generations: they meet regularly, know each other by name, recommend each other and learn from each other. The formula is simple and works anywhere — including on an island.
Not once a year at a conference, but several times a month — until faces turn into names.
Advice, a contact, a recommendation to a client. Members give before they ask.
Workshops and talks by people who run businesses here, on the problems of this season.
Suppliers, partners, clients: the first place to look is the community.
“Market Game”: teams run competing businesses on one market and fight for the same customers. Two leagues: League 12 for those about to start a business, League 24 for owners of a running one.
League 12 — ฿1,000 · League 24 — ฿3,500 per team, paid at the meeting
Coffee and introductions, then one question from each person: what is hardest in your business right now. Someone at the table has usually solved it already.
Practice on one topic — pricing, Google Maps, hiring, marketing on a small budget — with something you can use the next day.
An entrepreneur tells how they built a business on the island: what worked, what cost money and what they would do differently.
An evening with no agenda: meet the community, bring a colleague or a partner.
Want to run a workshop, host a meeting at your venue or bring a speaker? That is how chambers grow.
All times are Phuket time (UTC+7). Pick a meeting and sign up — we will reply personally.
Turn on JavaScript to see the schedule — or write to us and we will name the nearest dates.
No date suits you? Join the waitlist — we will write when a meeting you are interested in is confirmed.
Pricing for the high and low season, reviews, staff.
Occupancy, agents, direct bookings.
Promoters, partners, the tourist flow.
Partners and clients among foreign business owners.
People who run a company from the island and miss having colleagues around.
A closed game or workshop for your team.
Several teams run competing businesses on one market and fight for the same customers. Every turn is a game month: price, quality, advertising, staff, loans. Where customers go is decided by the model, not by the host.
After the game we go through the decisions together, and everyone at the table says what they would do differently. That is where people really get to know each other.
For hotels and companies: a game or workshop just for your people. A strategy session in game form, up to 4 hours. Price on request.
Chambers of commerce grow together with their members’ businesses. There is a place for yours.
Hotels, cafés and coworkings: a room and a screen for 2–3 hours. The community brings guests who stay for food and drinks.
A bank, clinic, developer, visa or legal company: your name in front of the island’s business owners. In the game, the bank carries the sponsor’s brand.
Your members get a discount on games and early access to meetings.
Questions about meetings, a closed game for your team or a partnership — write in whichever messenger suits you. We usually reply within a day.
No. Every meeting is open: pick one in the schedule, sign up and come.
Yes, that is how most people come. At games, teams are formed right at the table.
No. Games are paid per team at the meeting: League 12 — ฿1,000, League 24 — ฿3,500. You can also come just to watch.
At hotels, cafés and coworkings on the island. We send the address personally after you sign up.
A meeting needs at least four people. If fewer sign up, it may be cancelled — we will warn you in advance and suggest another date.
Mostly English. If another language is more comfortable for you, mention it when you sign up.
A phone for the game, business cards if you have them, and a question you would like to ask other owners.
Yes. The restaurant in the game is only a shell: price, quality, advertising, capacity and competitors work the same way for villas, tours and agencies.
No prepayment and no obligations: sign up, come and meet the people who run businesses on the same island.
