We advise competitors to fly to Bangkok, and book a budget airliner like Air Asia to get from Bangkok to Phuket, which is a very short flight. Phuket is not only a world-class watersports destination, but also one of the bigger Thai cities with a bristling nightlife, making this Phantom 295 event a trip of a lifetime. With competitors traveling to Phuket from all over the world, entries are limited and we advise you to book your place in advance.
