strange boat, ship, yacht or whatever it's called.






on my last day at sala phuket a very strange looking boat turned up.

ok, boat probably isn't the word is it ? what do you call it ?
a ship ? a yacht ? vessel ?

well i'm no expert but it certainly looked like a strange effort... you know
... the design of it and all that.
the front and the back bits ( bow and stern ? ) seemed to be slanting
in the wrong way... do you know what i mean ?








here's a bit of a pull, where maybe you can see it better
oh, as you can see, after a while the side of the thing opened up and out of it
came two jet-skis and also two motor boats.









it certainly caught the attention of the people at my resort...
...one by one they all got off their loungers and got up to take a look.








and to take photos
so...


... any idea what this thing is ?
and what's the story with the bits sloping the wrong way ?

  1. The bits slope the wrong way because thats what you get if you cross a yacht, Philippe Starck and a Russian billionaire!

  2. The yacht is called "A" and cost $200m and was built for Andrey Melnichenko.
    It was named after his super model wife.
    I have to ask myself... "but is he happy?"
