The event will again take place at host venue Laguna Phuket, in Laguna’s Latitude Marquee, with the duck race being run in the Dusit Canal.

In addition to the duck race, the PCF is promising “a fun-filled day for the whole family with games, activities, a talent contest organised by Legend Music and Siobhan’s Music Studio, and a rubber duckie cocktail contest”.

Live entertainment will be provided by the winners of the 2012 PCF Race Day’s “Battle of the Young Bands” competition, the now famous Legends of Siam.

Rubber Duck tickets will go on sale shortly.

All funds raised will go towards the PCF’s ongoing road safety projects, toy libraries and community improvement projects. For details of these visit phuketcharity.org
