My life in Phuket is usually pretty simple and casual, and my wardrobe certainly reflects it. I alternate between basic shorts and tops and easy beach dresses. Therefore, there is usually no need for heels or pretty dresses here in Nai Harn. Except, of course, when you are invited to a wedding. How exciting! The wedding celebration took place at the beautiful Trisara Resort in Surin. Afterwards, the celebrations continued the following day with a party boat in Phuket aboard the Lobster Yacht Phuket. This was going to be a great weekend!
Not to mention that I finally managed to explore further north on Phuket Island than the IKEA store.
The Wedding
All dressed up and ready to go, there was no way I was travelling to Surin on a scooter. After all, this was definitely not the day for ‘helmet hair’. So, I organised a taxi instead.
As soon as I arrived at Trisara Resort, I could already tell that it was going to be a beautiful wedding. The location and decorations were stunning, while the bride looked absolutely beautiful. Love was certainly in the air.
There is not much to write about a wedding, except that there was delicious food, great music, lovely people and plenty of dancing. Of course, you can’t have a tropical wedding without a little rain, in this case, almost every hour! However, as the evening continued, nobody seemed too bothered by it. Apparently, rain on your wedding day brings good luck.
Unsurprisingly, the hours passed quickly. So, after a little more dancing, the first day of celebrations came to an end. I was ready for a good night’s sleep before continuing the celebrations aboard the Lobster Yacht Phuket the following day. It was almost time for the party boat in Phuket!
The Private Party Boat – Lobster Yacht Phuket
I had seen them around, those big boats cruising past Yanui and Nai Harn Beach, playing loud music while people danced on board. I never really thought I would be on one of them. But here I was, aboard a party boat in Phuket! And what a fun trip it was!
Docked in Chalong, the Lobster Yacht Phuket was ready for us at around lunchtime. There were approximately 50 people on board, including friends of the bride and groom, some guests who hadn’t attended the wedding and, of course, the rest of us. I also suspect there were a few hangovers from the previous night.
The Lobster Yacht Phuket was certainly one of the largest private charter boats I had ever been on. This impressive charter yacht had its own bar, a DJ, plenty of seating, a dance floor and a large team making sure we were all happy guests. What else do you need from a party boat in Phuket?

While we settled in on board, the Lobster Yacht Phuket headed straight towards Coral Island. Déjà vu, anyone? I had been there only a few weeks earlier. Read about my previous trip: Private Charter Boat Phuket.
Once we arrived and the water toys had been brought out, there was no stopping us. We even had a waterslide, which the boys seemed to enjoy a lot! Everybody was relaxed and having fun, exactly what you want from a party boat in Phuket.
First, I went snorkelling for a little while, as the coral here is amazing. Afterwards, I relaxed on a floating bed before heading back on board for a delicious lunch buffet. What a fun afternoon. And the water was absolutely stunning!
As the day continued, the party atmosphere grew and the poses for our photos became increasingly silly. Along the way, I also met some great people from all over the world.
By the time we reached the famous Yanui and Nai Harn area to watch the sunset, I had become one of those people I had watched from the beach. The girl dancing on a big party boat in Phuket, enjoying a wonderful Sunday afternoon and waving at everyone on the other boats. Amazing!
I must admit, I am getting quite used to these amazing private boat trips. The Lobster Yacht Phuket was certainly a fun experience! Is anyone else a fan? xx
