The 2007 Phuket Kings Cup Regatta

The Thailand's Royal Navy are planning a spectacular sail past in honor of the King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 80th birthday at the 2007 Phuket Kings Cup regatta. King Bhumibol Adulyadej is the Patron of the annual regatta, which runs from December 1-8.
Over 1,000 sailors will take part in Phuket King's Cup Regatta and on Wednesday morning (December 5th) the record fleet of more than 100 yachts will sail past Royal Navy vessels to mark the King's birthday.
In the evening there will be a toast to the King on the Kata beach front, with everyone wearing their yellow shirts and with many holding yellow candles. The evening function will be co-coordinated, as in past years, with many similar tributes held throughout Thailand.
