The annual Phuket King’s Cup Regatta returns this year for its 27th edition of sailboat racing in the Andaman Sea. The regatta, which takes place from Dec 1 to Dec 6, will begin with an opening event and party at Kata Beach Resort & Spa on the Thai island.
The racing then begins on Dec 2, with daily racing and revelries from then on, while on Dec 5 in celebration of HM the King’s birthday, 100 sailboats are expected to participate in a parade. The event closes on Dec 6 with an award ceremony and closing party.
Even if you’re not interested in the racing, the regatta is a good excuse to check out the daily prize-giving beachside parties.
