Get into theme and don your nautical stripes and Sperrys to watch this year’s Phuket Race Week at the Cape Panwa Hotel in Phuket this Jul 15-19. The international-level yacht race features four days of yacht racing and five nights of beachside celebrations.

Those participating in the race events will have access to the regatta area, while those who wish to solely spectate can get tickets at the venue, though these will be in limited supply and there will be no pre-sale. Another option is to rent a yacht and watch the race from the ocean (see some of our tips here).

Come nightfall you’ll be able to access the parties, equipped with free-flow beer, wine and spirits. Tickets cost B800-1,200 depending on the night of the party. For more information, visit www.phuketraceweek.com.
