'Boathouse Resort' at Kata Beach hosted the first post-race party of 25th Anniversary Phuket King’s Cup Regatta. Live DJs and large video displays of the day's racing provided the early evening entertainment as sailors and fans of the Regatta cooled down after the race and turned their attention to beachside fun.

Rivalries were put aside temporarily, as comrades-in-arms enjoyed drinks together courtesy of Mont Clair Wine by Siam Winery. An elegant candle ceremony was presented in honour of His Majesty the King of Thailand’s 84th birthday, and His Majesty was toasted by the traditional raising of glasses and three shouts of 'Chai-Yo.' Boathouse (formerly Mom Tri’s Boathouse) recently underwent an extensive rennovation and the 'new look' venue remains as popular as ever with Phuket King’s Cup Regatta sailors. Prizes were awarded in each racing class and presented by Boathouse Resort and Siam Winery executives.
