It's time to start planning for Phuket's biggest boat show. 

The 14-year-old Phuket International Boat Show (PIMEX) has been taken over by Phuket RendezVous (www.thephuketrendezvous.com), which arrives in early 2018 with a four-day extravaganza.

Taking over Royal Phuket Marina on Jan 4-7, 2018, the event will feature over 40 beautiful superyachts as well as interactive displays of classic and super cars, exhibitions of art pieces and design items, art on water, marine conservation and sailing workshops by 80 exhibitors, live entertainment, plus plenty of booze tasting.

There also promises to be special rates for stays at the primely located The Village Coconut Island and the Boat Lagoon Resort during the event. More details at bit.ly/2rucqBZ.
