Creating a Thai Full Moon Party for Gold Medal Travel’s ‘Big Day Out’


For several years, we have had the pleasure of working with Gold Medal Travel on their annual ‘Big Day Out’ corporate event. This year, we were thrilled to return and deliver an unforgettable experience, this time, with a Thai Full Moon Party theme inspired by our client’s work with Tourism Thailand.

The Brief

Gold Medal Travel’s ‘Big Day Out’ events are the perfect blend of professional and party. For 2024, they requested a Thai Full Moon Party theme, décor options that incorporated photo opportunities, and live entrainment with club-style live music to complement the festival vibe. We were excited to bring their vision to life!

The Challenges

Gold Medal Travel were required to receive proposals from at least three suppliers, so we were competing with other companies. As one of three suppliers pitching for the event, we needed to ensure our ideas stood out.

We needed to consider budget variability. Our client had a budget in mind, but they were open to exploring more options with a large budget.

We had a tight setup window. The event space was in full use the day prior to our client’s event, so we needed to ensure everything was set up perfectly ahead of the evening event.

The Solutions

To provide Gold Medal Travel with multiple options, we created three tailored proposals.

Our first proposal was budget-friendly: a Thai beach and jungle theme with creative props for fantastic photo opportunities. The second proposal catered to a mid-range budget to include full venue draping, UV lighting, and décor for a complete room transformation. Our third proposal envisioned a glamorous beach festival theme.

Each proposal was accompanied by a detailed mood board to showcase our vision. This helped our client picture the event before it even began. After thorough and consistent communication with our client, we landed on the perfect balance of budget, style, and a full-impact experience for their guests.

The Results

Our client settled on a budget in the middle range of our initial proposals. Their key requests were:

  • Fantastic photo opportunities for guests
  • Represent geographically accurate animal props, iconography, and foliage
  • Limited furniture

The final package was a huge hit with Gold Medal Travel, and the event was a night to remember!

From neon signs to UV-reactive props and vibrant décor, the event space was filled with Instagram-worthy moments.

We combined traditional Thai-inspired décor elements with modern festival touches. This included white draping, multicoloured lights, and a neon pink elephant – a playful nod to Thailand’s wildlife.

Minimal furniture encouraged guests to mingle, dance, and enjoy the entire event space – not just the bar!

We provided live music that matched Gold Medal Travel’s vision. Ultra 90s were the perfect choice, providing a high-energy, festival vibe with live vocals, musicians, and dazzling light shows.

Mark Walsh was an interactive and engaging DJ and Host bringing infectious energy to the room, keeping guests dancing and entertained all night long.

From the glowing décor to the lively entertainment, the event perfectly captured the essence of a Thai Full Moon Party while celebrating Gold Medal Travel’s incredible work.
