The penultimate day of racing in the 25th Phuket King's Cup Regatta concluded with a lavish beachfront party at Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket on Karon Beach. The resort, together with AIA Thailand, hosted the prize-giving ceremony in front of a large crowd of sailors and supporters with great music and a delicious seafood barbeque. Eurasia and Starlight provided spectacular musical performances, and partygoers stayed long into the night and enjoyed the famous Phuket King’s Cup Regatta hospitality. Guests were cooled by the soothing ocean breeze as competitors relaxed before the climatic finale of the Regatta the following day.
