A Special Trip to Switzerland 🇨🇭

July 24th, 2025

A Gift for Our NooYoo Team Members with 100 Months of Service

For the third year in a row, we had the pleasure of taking our NooYoo colleagues who have reached 100 months with us on an unforgettable journey to one of Europe’s most breathtaking destinations, Switzerland.

Our one-week trip took place in late June, the perfect summer season for exploring and heading up the mountains to enjoy the stunning landscapes Switzerland is so famous for.

This year’s travel companions were Chorphaka Phromsuwan, Chonticha Lumnaow, Kulawadee Pongphaew, and Natthanicha Sahavejjabhand. Each of them has shared their personal stories and impressions from this trip, so you can experience it through their eyes. Let’s dive right into their journeys and highlights together!

First of all, I have to say that this is a country many people dream of visiting. I’m one of them too! Arriving in Switzerland, I was excited to see so many people from different backgrounds traveling here. Every place I visited filled me with excitement and joy.

The place that impressed me the most was Gelmersee. It was my first time riding such a steep funicular, and by chance, I even got to sit right in the front row. It was such a thrilling experience that my hands were literally sweating!

When we reached the top, it started raining. But our group kept walking along the lake, stepping over rocks of all shapes and sizes. After a while, we heard a warning siren about a mountain blast to release water from the glacier. By then, the rain had gotten heavier, so we looked for a tree to shelter under. Once it eased up a bit, we continued walking and ended up hiding from the rain again under a big boulder. When the rain finally stopped, we all gathered beautiful-shaped stones to build a little stone tower with our boss. It was a tiring but super fun activity with lots of laughter and a bit of heavy breathing 🤭

We spent about two hours at Gelmersee before heading to our second night’s stay in Iseltwald, a peaceful village by Lake Brienz. It was like walking into a dream. So beautiful I couldn’t stop taking pictures. I wanted to see how the sky changed throughout the day until it was finally time to sleep. Good night for now.

Thank you for the warm welcome and such a special experience. Thank you so much!

Throughout the trip, we were all so excited and happy. We left Suvarnabhumi Airport around noon on Saturday and arrived at Zurich Airport around 7 PM on the same day. In reality, we were on the plane for over 11 hours, and the time in Switzerland is 5 hours behind Thailand. So on the first day, I was a bit confused by the time difference.

Every place our boss took us to had such beautiful views. Along the way, our boss also shared stories and history about each location, which made the trip even more meaningful. I learned so much.

It’s honestly really hard for me to choose one favorite place because I loved every single one. But if I had to pick, I’d say Jungfrau. We took a cable car and then a train all the way up. At the top, the snow-covered mountain peaks were just stunning. Our boss brought us to a viewing point and also took us to explore the ice sculptures inside the glacier cave. It was freezing up there!

I’ll keep all the memories and beautiful moments from this trip in my heart forever. Thank you so much.

I was so excited when I found out I’d be traveling abroad. Switzerland 🇨🇭 is one of those dream destinations that so many people want to visit. I was thrilled just thinking about the flight and the journey. This was my very first time going there! 😅

Every place our boss took us to was absolutely beautiful. I loved them all. I honestly never imagined I’d get to experience scenery this stunning 🥰 But if I had to pick just one highlight, it would definitely be Lake Gelmersee. Taking the funicular up was both super steep and super high. I was secretly sweating a bit 😂 But once we reached the top, the view of the lake was just breathtaking. So beautiful with a million capital G’s for “gorgeous”! 😍

Huge thanks to our boss and to NooYoo for giving us this amazing opportunity and organizing such a memorable trip for the team!

Switzerland never fails to impress me – the culture, innovation, architecture and art are just amazing every time. I especially loved Zermatt. It’s got all these unique fruits, cool local food, and even EuroMillions lottery tickets to try your luck. The whole town is full of beautifully maintained Chalet architecture that they seriously keep them looking perfect. At Zermatt, you can get the clearest view of the Matterhorn there. No wonder it’s everywhere in town! Like, it’s on the back of Gornergrat Bahn ticket, souvenirs, and even at the Zermatt Selection, a temporary art exhibit, which is Nicholas Witschi’s (the stone seeker, alchemist, and painter) showing his Matterhorn paintings and rocks. And near the clock tower, there’s the Matterhorn Museum. Even the entrance, with its triangular glass dome, is impressive. Inside, they cover the whole history of the Matterhorn, from the very first climbing ropes and pioneering routes to the tools they used back then. They did such a great job with it. It’s a museum I recommend everyone to check out.

In my opinion, Swiss people are friendly. They get genuinely excited if they hear foreigners, especially Asians, speak Deutsch. I got a free Lindt chocolate truffle from Lindt shop because the merchant was impressed when I spoke Deutsch with him. So, if you know even a little bit Deutsch, just go for it! Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. I believe you’ll have an even more special experience.

For anyone who will fly next time, my advice is: don’t be afraid to try new things, go sightseeing and explore the towns, breathe in the pollution-free air, and even try drinking water from the public taps in each city. Get yourself a good pair of walking shoes, stay fit and you’ll definitely have an amazing trip in Switzerland.

Thanks to NooYoo for this opportunity and amazing experience. And a massive thanks to Herr Martin and his friends for pushing through tirelessly until the last minute – this trip really showed me how awesome our boss is! Last but not least, a big shoutout to all buddies who made this journey truly unforgettable.

It is with great pleasure that I look back on an unforgettable trip that I was able to take to the Swiss mountains together with four longtime employees from Thailand. Over the course of eight days, we not only got to experience the impressive natural beauty of our Alps, but also shared many special moments in perfect summer weather. This trip was not only an opportunity for discovery and wonder, but also a valuable time of exchange and cultural interaction.

The following pages provide a small glimpse into our experiences: full of pictures, impressions, and memories of an all-around successful trip.
