🤝 Joining hands for Children’s Day at Phuket Boat Lagoon 🚲🎉

This Children’s Day, 10 January, the 5 Star Marine team is proud to join hands with Phuket Boat Lagoon to celebrate and support a fun-filled day for the kids in our local community.

As part of the celebrations, 5 Star Marine will be donating 3 bicycles to children attending the event. A bicycle is more than just a gift; it’s freedom, confidence, independence, and a whole lot of smiles. 🚲✨

As a family-run business, our team is made up of fathers, mothers, and children ourselves. Supporting families and the next generation is something that truly matters to us, and we couldn’t be happier to celebrate this important national holiday together.

We’re looking forward to a day full of laughter, joy, and great memories at the Phuket Boat Lagoon Children’s Day Party.

See you there 💙👩‍🦰🧑

🎄 Christmas Reflections in Phuket 💙

Christmas time in Phuket has always been one of the hardest times of the year for me.

It brings back vivid memories of the first Christmas during Covid — when a small group of friends and I spent our days delivering life bags and toys to children whose families had been deeply affected by the pandemic. There were no celebrations, no holidays as we knew them then — just people doing their best to look after one another in a very uncertain world.

This Christmas, I took a moment to sit with those memories and reflect on how much the world has changed since Covid. How far we’ve come. And how incredibly lucky many of us are now — to be able to gather, to celebrate, and to share moments of joy with our families and friends.

It’s also a reminder that not every family is in the same position. While some of us celebrate, others are still facing challenges far greater than our own.

If this season has taught me anything, it’s gratitude — for health, for community, and for the ability to help where we can.

While the water recedes in Hat Yai those with destroyed homes, lost belongings and uncertain futures are still seeking help. Our team loaded up two trucks full of supplies, some thanks to UWCT and delivered to those in need.

One of the most important parts of a relief effort is to continue to provide relief even when it's no longer socially popular or new relevant. You have to be there after that period of time to hepl those people recover, rebuild and restart there lives.

Thanks to our team for driving 8hrs each way and personally visiting with the people affected.

HAT YAI FLOOD RELIEF – THIRD TRUCK LEAVING TONIGHT

Over the past few days, our team at 5 Star Marine has continued to support the communities affected by the severe flooding in Hat Yai. We have now sent two full trucks of emergency supplies, including:

✅ Life Jackets
✅ Marine Safety Equipment
✅ Dry Food & Life Bags
✅ Clothes
✅ Essential Household Items

Despite these efforts, our team on the ground reports that many families are still in urgent need of help. To continue supporting those affected, we are organising a third truck, which will head to Hat Yai this evening.

If you would like to contribute, we are currently accepting:

✅ Rice
✅ Tinned Food
✅ Noodles
✅ Any Non-Perishable Food Items
✅ Quality Clothing for All Ages (Adults to Children)

Please drop any donations to our office, and we will ensure they reach those who need them most.

At this time, we do not require help packing, as more than 100 of our staff have volunteered their time. We also have trucks available, driven by team members whose families live in the affected areas—allowing us to personally deliver the supplies while supporting their own communities.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated. Your generosity is making a real difference to those in need.

Together, we can help Hat Yai recover. 🌧️❤️🙏

Our team at 5 Star Marine gathered together over 100 life jackets and shipped them to Hat Yai as part of a request from the Rescue Team to help the people affected by the floods. From call to shipping was just a few hours.

That's what I love about our team, quick acting and showing real care for there community, whether here locally or interprovincially.

26/11/2025

The 5 Star Marine team combined together to pick up and pack the supplies required for life bags. These will be shipped off to Hat Yai to help those in need from the floods.

We are preparing another truck to go on Friday. If you have anything you wish to donate feel free to drop it past the 5 Star Marine offices.

If you are considering helping, we encourage you to take a moment to read the guidelines below. While we would never tell you how to give, we hope these insights help you understand the most impactful ways to support a community facing such a difficult time.

26/11/2025

This evening at 7pm, our team from 5 Star Marine will be preparing and packing 100 Life Bags filled with essential dry food for families affected by the severe flooding in Hat Yai.
