our great days of beautiful sunny weather greeted thousands of visitors to the 8th annual Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show from 21-24 November where they enjoyed a diverse range of
displays at the award-winning marina setting of Ocean Marina Yacht Club, the largest marina in South-East Asia. The show was opened by Napintorn Srisunpang,
Vice-Minister for Tourism and Sports, and the first two days saw action on the docks with brokers reporting quality leads. Visitors peaked over the weekend as thousands flocked to the show to explore the boating opportunities in Thailand and the extensive range of displays from luxury properties to home and outdoor products, sports and watersports equipment, international schools and much more. The Food Festival was a focal point through each
day and into the evening as visitors gathered to enjoy tasty local delicacies from many of Pattaya and Bangkok’s pop-up restaurants and food trucks, as well as refreshing drinks from leading beer, cider and wine brands. The helicopter rides proved a big hit, with visitors

taking the opportunity to see Jomtien and Pattaya from above, while the free yacht cruises and daily sunset cruise allowed visitors to gain an idea of what the yachting lifestyle is all about. Siam Seaplane – the first seaplane service of its kind in the area and a newcomer to the show – caught the attention of many as did the fun activities for all family members. The organisers placed a strong emphasis on
sustainability this year, introducing free water refill stations at the show and implementing a strict no single-use-plastic policy. This was well-received and saved an estimated 5,000 single-use plastic water bottles as a result. With positive talk of quality visitors and high levels
of interest in boats at the show, Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show continues in its mission to promote the Gulf of Thailand as a world-class cruising destination and introduce new people in Bangkok, Pattaya and the surrounding area to boating and the nautical lifestyle. Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show
