Press Release
The Thailand International Boat Show (TIBS) 2022 is set to raise the bar for boating and lifestyle exhibitions in the region. Initial feedback from the industry has been very good, with organisers expecting a large in-water line-up of boats and an exciting collection of marine products and luxury lifestyle in the marina-side exhibition hall.
The show is set to take place at the award-winning Royal Phuket Marina between January 6th–9th, 2022. However, both on the water and in the Royal Phuket Marina’s Exhibition Hall, places are filling up quickly.
You don’t want to miss out on this event – the bounce-back event of 2022, which has come to symbolize the resurgence of the leisure marine industry in Southeast Asia.
Major players, old money, new money, people you need to know, people you should know. Just about everyone who is anyone in the yachting business will be there and there’s no better way to rub fenders with the rich, famous and well-connected than at the Thailand International Boat Show.
With over 6,000 visitors and more than 100 exhibitors expected to attend, the four-day event will target those with an interest in the boating and luxury lifestyle, and organisers will welcome wealthy jet-setters from overseas to the first boat show in Asia in two years!
Yachts of all sizes, both power and sail, will be on display in-the-water ranging from dinghies and day-trippers up to superyachts.
The JAND Group, who is organising the show, has a well-earned reputation for staging quality events and its clients include some of the world’s leading brands including Givenchy, Hennessy, Kenzo, L’Oréal, Louis Vuitton, and Moët.

Led by CEO David Hayes who has over 30 years of experience in the events, hospitality and travel industries, the team combines a diverse range of backgrounds and has organised a plethora of high-profile events, including the Blue List Expedition Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous.

Thailand’s status as the marine leisure hub of Asia remains undiminished despite the challenges of the pandemic. Famed for its islands, stunning offshore seascape and tropical beaches, Thailand is the favoured destination for boat owners in the region and a popular choice for marine leisure tourists from all around the world. An industry valued in the billions pre-pandemic, the Thailand International Boat Show 2022 will kick-start its revival and be a valuable economic driver for Phuket and Thailand going forward.

In addition, there will be a public relations and media launch event in both Bangkok and Phuket.
