The largest island in Thailand, the most populous and the most popular one-
Phuket is a major watershed in the tourism industry of Thailand. And festivals
and events in Phuket are more than you can even think of. In this cosmopolitan
island there are festivals for every faith, every religion every race, and every
kind of tourist for that matter. The Annual Phuket International Rugby Tournament
is a rugby tournament of international repute. Teams from all South East Asia,
Europe and UK compete for the prestigious Clive Williamson Memorial Trophy.
It takes place in the month of May.
Sports enthusiasm is notably high in Phuket. Quite a few game events like Women's
Beach Volleyball tournament, Annual International Cricket Sixes Tournament,
the King's Cup Race, Phuket International Marathon, Laguna Phuket Triatholon
are some of the sporting events that punctuate the sports calendar at phuket.
Phuket's cosmopolitan sports interest also accounts to the cosmopolitan character
both of its populace and the tourists. This can also be identified as an effort
to promote tourism and attract more and more international tourists to Phuket.
With these increasing sports events, Phuket is soon coming up in the same league
as many of the more famous beaches in North and South America.
