Phuket, Thailand – The 29th edition of the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, held on November 19, 2023, in the stunning setting of Laguna Phuket, culminated in a spectacular display of athleticism and endurance.

This year’s event, renowned as Southeast Asia’s longest-running triathlon, drew over 1,000 participants from 30 countries, underscoring Phuket’s standing as a top-tier sports event destination.

The competition began at dawn with professional athletes diving into the Andaman Sea at Bang Tao Beach. This marked the start of a grueling challenge, comprising a 1.8-kilometer swim, a 55-kilometer bike ride through mountainous terrain, and a final 12-kilometer run within the scenic Laguna Phuket.
