(03 June 2022, 09:29 +07) The last time Ocean Marina hosted and organised the Pattaya Boat Show was in November 2019, the 8th edition of the event created to promote sailing and other watersports in Thailand.

With lots of open space, attractive gardens and plenty of different quality hotel rooms nearby, Ocean Marina, the largest marina in South East Asia, is located in Jomtien, just a few miles south of central Pattaya, around a 90-minute drive from Bangkok, with three international airports - DMK, BKK and UTP - in close proximity, and a fourth - HHQ - only a couple of hours away by ferry, making it the perfect venue to host large events.

While the Pattaya Boat Show, organised by Ocean Marina, is no more, the venue has been chosen to host the Thailand Yacht Show from 9-12 June 2022.

Being organised by Verventia, Steven Howard of TravelNewsAsia.com sat down with Andy Treadwell, Verventia's CEO, to ask him about the event which will comprise of two components with Pattaya taking place next week, and the second part scheduled for Phuket later in the year.

In this exclusive interview, filmed over the internet on 1 June 2022, Andy tells us why the event is called the Thailand Yacht Show rather than the Pattaya Boat Show, how the two components in Pattaya and Phuket will differ, what the aim of the Pattaya show is, how many visitors he expects and what the opening and closing times are.

We also discuss what entertainment visitors to the Thailand Yacht Show Pattaya can expect, what yachts there will be to see and whether there will be any educational components for people to learn from.

Andy tells us what their recently confirmed partnership with AXA Insurance means and shares his vision for the growth of the Thailand Yacht Show in the years to come. All that and much, much more in the video and podcast below.
