Dream destination trips available in online auction

A number of spectacular 5-star stays in dream destinations around the world are available for bidding during the online silent auction “Absolutely Fabulous Online Travel Sale”, until midnight May 28.

Organised by the Phuket Hotels Association, a non-profit organisation of hoteliers focused on promoting a positive image of Phuket, the silent auction features exciting experiences generously donated by sponsors in Dubai, Sydney and the Maldives, as well as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Krabi and Koh Samui — all potentially available with big discounts for the highest bidder.

In addition to hotel stays, interested people are invited to place their bids on a range of exhilarating activities such as yacht charters, golf, tennis, surfing classes and gym memberships.

The auction is being continually updated with new prizes and bidders can check back on their progress, make new offers and see what other exciting prizes are coming up. To make bids, visit phab.phukethotelsassociation.com/silent-auction.

Proceeds from the auction will sponsor at least 20 hospitality scholarships and internships, exclusively for the benefit of young Phuket residents who would be otherwise unable to fund their education.

This silent auction is part of the Phuket Hotels Association Benefit (PHAB) 2022 campaign which also includes the “PHAB 4 Dance Fever”, a charity gala dinner, which will take place at Angsana Laguna Phuket on May 28 at 7pm.

The upbeat fundraising evening will feature an indulgent international buffet dinner with live cooking stations by some of the top chefs from Phuket’s best hotels, and drinks prepared by the island’s most creative mixologists.

Musical highlights include two live bands — Dating Blonds and Big Fat Horns — plus in-demand Phuket DJ Fred Jungo, and dazzling dancers who will get the party started with their dance feverthemed performances.

Tickets are priced at 3,900 baht (premium) and 4,900 baht (VIP) and can be purchased from bit. ly/3F7xcyQ.
