Kiteboarding, surfing, cable park, sailing, Muay Thai boxing, a national park, infamous nightlife...... where can you find all this and more in less then a 20 minute drive from your private bungalow located just meters off the kite beach?

Where else but in the magical kingdom of Thailand, notoriously known as The Land Of Smiles!

Join local Phuket resident of 16 years, Mia Gillow and the Kite Republic Crew as they tear it up in Thailand from the 10th until the 17th of July.

You’ll be staying in private bungalows just meters off one of the best kite beaches for the SW winds, the predominant wind direction for that time of year. The location, part of a national park, is fantastic. Known as Nai Yang Beach, it is a quiet spot where one can truly bask in the relaxing, tropical atmosphere. Experience the best of both kite worlds while honing your skills in shallow flat water, or hitting the waves out at the reef break.

Improve your skills with Senior IKO Instructors. Do downwinders with a truck pick up service!


Beach parties, bonfires and star gazing will all be part of this fantastic Thai Adventure!

Take a short scooter or taxi ride into one of the bustling towns of Patong, Kata or Karon to enjoy the infamous nightlife. Check out Thai boxing, live entertainment, night clubs, bars, shopping and much more.

Sounds good right?

Don't forget about the Cable Park!!! Enjoy UNLIMITED use and basic gear hire at Phuket Cable Ski Park, just 15min away from the bungalows (http://phuketdir.com/phuketcableski/index.htm). Probably the best way to improve your board skills, un-hooked riding, edging and popping. Hit all the kickers and sliders or just cruise. If you wipe out, you'll get picked up by a Tuk Tuk and returned to the start! 



A 30ft sailing boat will also be available, anchored at a nearby bay, for day and sunset sails at no extra cost. So you can really kick back, relax and enjoy! 



Dinner will be prepared in the authentic Thai style of fragrant and exotic food. So if you have any specific dietary requirements please let us know beforehand.

With even more activities that are NOT included but readily available, like rock climbing, golf, surfing, shooting ranges and much more, this is a trip not to be missed!

PRICE:

-        $1950 for Non-Members

-        $1750 for KR KITE CLUB Members

-        $1650 each for KR KITE CLUB Couples

Snow Kiting Tours

Australia’s first snowkiting school manager, Chris Sal from Kite Republic will be running snowkiting tours over this winter season. It is strongly recommended that you get out and take advantage of Landboarding before you join us on the snow as these skills very much cross over with those on the snow. To see Chris in action at Mt Hotham on Channel 9’s ‘Getaway’ click here.
