As befits a show in Phuket, Asia’s favourite tropical island destination, alongside the marine exhibits will be a wide choice of luxury property, reasonably priced condominium projects and investment opportunities together with other iconic branded goods.

Recent shows have seen participation from Australia, Europe, USA, East Asia and China, and of course S.E. Asia. Cocktail parties and receptions will also give exhibitors and visitors the chance to mingle and network whilst enjoying the ambience of Royal Phuket Marina.

Floor and water plans have been posted and bookings are open for prime locations in the exhibition hall and marina (subject to availability.) Following demand, the in-water display has been increased to cater for up to 60 vessels with the possibility for more.

Now on its tenth year, PIMEX is an established and successful event in the marine and leisure calendar. As the 2012 edition showed, the show is well attended by luxury brands and individuals keen to buy. Over 4,000 individuals were involved and USD$25 million of product was sold with many more leads followed up after the show.

Like its location, PIMEX is a relaxed event where participants celebrate the boating, leisure and luxury lifestyle in an ideal tropical destination. The show is more than boats on display but also an opportunity to see the latest luxury cars, properties and engage in some Phuket hospitality.
