The big picture

Phuket Vice-Governor Somkiet Sungkhaosutthirak with students of the Phuket international Academy, who sang the Duckie Song at the opening ceremony.

Smiling volunteers. They all did a great job.

The amazing John "Caveman" Gray (centre) presented medals to the winners of the kayak race, and managed to take pictures of himself doing it. We're still not quite sure how...

The trampoline was in big demand all day.

Lighter than air: Dancers from the Phuket Academy of Dance in Chalong.

Proud dragon boat medal winners.

Emcee Pam with some of the contestants in the Delightful Ducklings costume contest. Very, very cute.

Cardboard - and water? Some boats in the childrens' cardboard box race didn't make it to the finish.

The crew of Silolona head out to do battle in the dragon boat competition. They also raced kayas and still had the energy to put on a show on stage. Twice. Whew.

Our hand-picked, highly trained duck catchers get ready for the Dream Gallery Great Phuket Rubber Duck Race, highlight of the day.

Ducks away! The quackers leap into the klong off the Dusit Bridge.

The amazing duck machine - the only machine of its kind in the world.

Screeeeeeam!! Shark attack! Luckily all the ducks managed to escape.

The rubber ducks reach the finish line.

Many thanks to Phuket Best Event for their pictures.
