Other events include the Andaman Sea Rally, the Phangna Bay Regatta and the Phuket Race Week.

2, the inner marina, will be for the exclusive use of private marina
residents, with a sophisticated lock system allowing easy access
to captains.

The Immigration Act of 1979 and subsequent Ministerial Rules of Enforcement
stipulate the following:
- Captains and crews arriving by boat in Thailand
will be allowed to stay in Thailand up to 30 days.
All such persons are expected to leave on the same vessel they arrived
on.
- The law states that if they choose to leave Thailand by any other
method, the permit to stay will automatically be canceled , and they will
be blacklisted, barring them from re-entering Thailand.
- In order to avoid being blacklisted, captains and crews wishing to leave the country by any method other than the way they arrived must present all relevant documents at Immigration and post a bond of 20,000 Baht. The bond will be refunded once the Immigration Department receives confirmation that the caption or crew member has left the country.
Immigration Officers will be happy to offer guidance on the technicalities of these procedures.
