The second annual Thailand International Boat Show A Luxury Lifestyle Event will present an expanded in-water display of sail and power ranging from tenders and speedboats up to the Princess Y95 which will be premiering in Thailand.
Taking place 11 - 14 January 2024 at Royal Phuket Marina, the in-water display is complemented by an onshore display of marine products and services, and luxury lifestyle, as well as the Thailand Yachting Conference, Robb Report Thailand Best Of The Best Yachting Awards Gala Dinner, and a vibrant social programme on the boardwalk.
Working closely with the Thai government and industry stakeholders, organisers JAND Events aim to drive yacht tourism and position Thailand as the leading marine leisure playground in the region, and is also the first boat show in Thailand to be carbon neutral.

"Building on last year's success, we are adding a B2B element to the show this year with the inaugural Thailand Yachting Conference - an ideal platform for industry information exchange and networking - and the Robb Report Thailand Best Of The Best Yachting Awards Gala Dinner."
