King’s Cup racing delayed

PHUKET: The King’s Cup Organizing Committee has this afternoon announced a change in the racing schedule for this year’s regatta. Racing will commence Tuesday, December 2 and will continue through to Saturday, December 6. There will be no lay day.

The delay in starting the regatta is to allow those held up by the Bangkok airport closures to reroute their flights into Phuket.

The organizers note that only the racing is affected. All parties and other activities will take place as scheduled, with the opening party on Sunday night, November 30, at Kata Beach Resort.

See the King’s Cup website or call the regatta’s 24-hour hotline on +66-(0)83- 551 1117 for more information.
