The third Kata Rocks Poker Run will return to Kata Rocks on 11 December for a day of fun and boating. Originating in the US, the concept is becoming increasingly popular in Phuket with Kata Rocks having hosted two successful events previously.
Kata Rocks is putting on another great boating event on 11 December when boats from all over the island and beyond gather for what has become an annual tradition - the Kata Rocks Poker Run.
With more than 20 boats attending in 2021, the event is set to be even bigger this year. The day starts with breakfast and a poker run briefing before the boats set out on a fun and fast-paced race around the island in a clockwise direction. Along the way they pick up a playing card at Xana Beach Club, The Playyard, Koh Rang Noi and Banana Beach before returning to Kata Rocks for the 5th card.
The event is not technically a race, as the winner will be determined by the winning hand. At the end of the day participants gather at Kata Rocks for a delicious BBQ. Last year’s event was capped off with a “Pirates of Phuket” theme party.
Kata Rocks is well known for its affiliation with the yachting industry, attracting some of the region’s most luxurious yachts during their annual prestigious Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous. With the Kata Rocks Poker Run, the luxury resort is adding yet another fun event to the yachting calendar on Phuket, shining the spotlight on the island as a yachting paradise. Attendees are expected to be high net worth individuals and yacht owners with a penchant for luxury lifestyle.
