A great day (or more) out:
Phuket International Boat Show (PIMEX)
The Phuket International Boat Show (PIMEX) brings together the best of Phuket. Sure, there are lots of boats on display – from dinghies and trailer-boats to daysailers, cruisers and superyachts, the options are near limitless – however, it’s more than boats. Held 7 – 10 January 2016 at Royal Phuket Marina, Phuket’s boat show is a great day out for all.
Family friendly
The venue, atmosphere, facilities, and activities combine to make the Boat Show a great day out, and with Children’s Day on Saturday 9 January, there’ll be a packed activities programme for kids of all ages to enjoy, including the all-new RPM Children’s Zone.
Check out the MissionShip project (IXDOS) from the British International School – a project to carry a clinic with medical staff to remote islands where children are not yet vaccinated against preventable diseases – and you can also visit the Phuket Has Been Good To Us stand and enjoy their kids’ activities.
On the Boardwalk
Savour the views and enjoy some great dining options at the restaurants and pop-up stalls on the Boardwalk. Also on the Boardwalk is Whisgars™ with the largest selection of premium whiskies and cigars in Southeast Asia, along with craft beers and vodka. Add Italian, Vietnamese, Thai dishes, a fine patisserie, classic burgers, and The Speakeasy, and there’ll be no shortage of eateries to enjoy.
