Kings Cup Competitor
After spending nearly six months arranging almost 20 crew for "Millennium" a sixty foot racing yacht I wll not be able to attend. But thoughtfully race organisers have contacted me to show me what I will be missing out on. Here is an edited version.
Royal Phuket Marina is again hosting one of the final parties of Asia's premier yachting regatta, the Phuket King's Cup, on Friday, December 8.
The Phuket King's Cup Regatta is Asia's biggest and most popular regatta -- a week-long celebration of great parties, great sailing and lots of fun.
The finale is the biggest party of all and it will be the second year running that RPM hosts the event for approximately 800 yachtsmen and guests.
The 20th Phuket King’s Cup Regatta is being contested from December 2-9 in the Andaman Sea, off Kata Beach. The regatta was recently named 'Yachting Event of the Year' at the Christofle Asia Boating Awards and attracts around 100 racing yachts and crews from around the world.
The Royal Phuket Marina party, held after five days of racing, is famed as one of Asia's liveliest and this year's event in the Town Square, marking the King of Thailand’s 60th year on the throne, promises to be yet another fabulous celebration including live entertainment, fireworks, international DJs and performers.
And now to show you the rev heads have not been forgotten.
RPM has now firmly established itself as a highly sought-after event site and is sponsoring and partnering a round of the thrilling Rubson Raid international speedboat challenge from December 9-16. The marina will house and prepare boats before and after each race, as well as the base for administration and coordination of race activities.
An extravagant prize-giving ceremony attended by several government and affiliated officials will also be hosted on Saturday, December 16.
After criss-crossing the high-seas on all four corners of the world, the international speedboat competition is in Phuket for the sixth round of its international race series. Rubson Raid brings teams of four to some of the world's most exotic locations, with the myriad of Andaman Sea isles one of the most idyllic venues.
In search of the ultimate thrill, the competition incorporates speed races, navigational trials, time-stages, bio-game fishing and much more.
Maybe after having spent some quality business time in Honkers you may want to fly with the newly established Dragon Air directly to phuket and spend time relaxing in your own beachfront luxury vila?
Last of the best waterfront villas
The eight 4-5 bedroom homes with private swimming pools and doorstep moorings are virtually the last residences available for sale from the first phase of the stunningly successful development.
Nearly all the first 66 penthouses and condominiums were snapped-up by investors within three months of going on sale.
