SENIOR THAI GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS including Minister of Tourism and Sports Weerasak Kowsurat attended the third edition of the Thailand Yacht Show (TYS) at Ao Po Grand Marina in Phuket as organisers worked to illustrate the potential of the superyacht charter industry.
Ferretti, Princess, Sunreef and Sunseeker all had major displays in a show featuring nearly 50 motor yachts, sailing boats and catamarans for sale or charter. The 15-strong superyacht fleet included the 90m Lauren L, 60m Feadship Paraffin, 47m Custom Line Happy Days and the 38m Perini Navi sailing yacht La Numero Uno.
