The breaking news of the week is that the Thai government have announced that the licensing process for foreign yachts over 30m to charter in Thai waters is now complete. The official launch will be held in Bangkok in September and will be followed by a charter show for superyachts in February 2016. This news is welcomed by the marine industry and demonstrates the government’s commitment to developing the potential of Thailand’s Andaman Coast as a marine hub.
Meanwhile, the 13th will be presented by Thailand Elite at the peak of high season in early January 2016 and is on track to be a bigger and even better show than last year with four months still to go.
