Continuing a tradition that began in 1998, Kata
Beach Resort & Spa will again be the host venue of the Phuket
Kings Cup Regatta.
This year, the closing day of the regatta
coincides with His Majesty the King of Thailands birthday on 5 December,
and although very special celebratory plans have already been laid
by the Kata Group Resorts Thailand, the groups Chairman, Pamuke
Achariyachai. is keeping them
very close to his chest.
To host the regatta is a great
honour and I personally believe that Phuket has all the right
ingredients for the Regatta to grow. When the opportunity for the
new host venue for the Regatta became available I had no
hesitation in going for it, said Pamuke Achariyachai. The sea
has always been my personal passion and I strongly
believe that Phuket can be South East Asias fore-most
marine leisure playground, including for offshore
powerboat racing.
Kevin
Whitcraft, President of the Phuket Kings Cup Regatta organising
committee said, The Regatta itself is now in its 23rd year and
since 1988 the Kata Beach Resort & Spa has been the host venue for
an event that grows in stature each year. Today, the Phuket Kings
Cup Regatta is one of the top events in the yachting world, both
regionally and internationally, and attracts around 2,000
additional high spending tourists over a seven day period.
The 23rd Phuket King's Cup Regatta
will take place 28 November - 5 December, 2009, off Kata
Beach, Phuket, Thailand.
