Experience the most beautiful SUNRISE in Thailand

Thailand is one of the hottest charter destinations around (figuratively and literally!) and with more and more super yachts available to cruise its pristine waters, it is the perfect destination for a luxury boat vacation.

Following her very successful summer in the Mediterranean, SUNRISE is heading East to Thailand and Malaysia for the winter. One of our favourites here at Boatbookings, she is a 53 m Oceanco with accommodation for up to 12 guests in 6 luxury staterooms and has been impeccably designed, crafted and furnished.

Her high levels of performance and comfort are complemented by the brilliant leisure facilities on board – ranging from an on deck Jacuzzi and fully equipped gym to two tenders and two jetskis. There is also a home cinema, bar and sun decks for your relaxation, while the lounge and study offer perfect spots for business affairs.

In such a beautiful boat you may be reluctant to set foot on dry land, but with destinations like the Phi Phi Islands, Phuket and and Pattaya at your beck and call, you would be crazy not to! Some of the best diving spots in the world are to be found here; guest can explore the exquisite turquoise waters where whale sharks, turtles and tonnes of tropical fish reside.

SUNRISE is available to charter from Phuket from the 20th December to the 5th of January, and from the 19th of January from Phuket or Langkawi.

Cannes Film Festival, Day 8 – Only God Forgives – Our Yacht Nominee: Azimut 43

Now that we have reached day 8 of the Cannes Film Festival, we are happy to announce that the sunshine is back and here to stay!

On Day 8, the film of the day is Only God Forgives, by Danish director, screenwriter and producer, Nicolas Winding Refn. The film follows Julian, played by one of the most popular men of the moment, Ryan Gosling, who runs a boxing club in Bangkok. An American fugitive who uses his boxing business as a cover for his family's drug-smuggling business, Julian is well respected in the criminal underworld. Only God Forgives portrays the complications of his life when his mother, portrayed by Kristin Scott Thomas,
compels him to hunt down, and kill, his brother's murderer.

One of the themes within the film is the colour red. Reports say that there is often a reddish hue to the scenes in the film, and scenes set both inside and outside feature many red lanterns. The most obvious use of red is, of course, blood. Of which there is a lot!

So, our yacht nominee to go with Only God Forgives, is this Azimut 43. Based in Phuket, in keeping with the Thailand theme, this Azimut has an eye-catching splash of red on its hull, so keeping within the red theme of Only God Forgives. This crewed luxury motor yacht is available for both day and week charters. Accommodating up to 4
guests in one double and one twin cabin, you can spend a week exploring the Andaman sea, or she is fantastic for a group of 8 on a day towards Phang Nga Bay and Krabi or cruising around the Phi Phi Islands.

Looking for your Thailand boat rental? At www.boatbookings.com, we are here to help you plan your perfect luxury yachting holiday. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will leave no stone unturned to bring together the yacht, the crew and all the other subtle aspects that make your charter so special.

Cannes Film Festival, Day 6 – Shield of Straw – Our Yacht Nominee: Ferretti 680!

Day 6 of the world famous Cannes Film Festival sees the premiere of Takashi Miike’s ‘Wara No Tate,’ ‘Shield of Straw.’ The film is set in Tokyo and evidently lives up to Takashi Miike’s dark and sadistic nature with plenty of violence and gore throughout. It begins with a convicted child rapist and murderer who has recently been released from prison committing a cruel murder of an innocent young girl. Consequently the girl’s wealthy and powerful grandfather, Tsutomu Yamazaki seeks immediate revenge by offering a sum of 1 billion Yen to anyone who manages to kill the prime suspect. Realising he is a dead man walking, the child killer, Kunihide Kiyomaru turns himself in to the police. As the plot thickens, five elite cops are assigned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to escort Kiyomaru back to Tokyo for his trial. A dilemma unfolds; whom can they trust, can they trust themselves? Will human nature take its course and who will reap the reward? This film by Takashi Miike pushes varying boundaries of physical and mental emotions. Many questions are asked and as the body count of the innocent rises, it becomes more and more difficult to justify the suspects’ protection. This highly anticipated film will be showcased on Monday 20th at 8:30 and 22:30, 2013.

In keeping with the authentic oriental theme, why not charter the luxurious and elegant Ferretti 680 with 6 berths and an impressive 24 cruising capacity for day charters. Her design is faultless and her interior is seductive, she is a true jewel of the Andaman Sea.

The 3 cabins are comprised of a VIP double cabin, 1 double cabin and 1 cabin with 2 single beds.
