PHUKET: Motorists are urged to exercise caution while a mass bicycle ride is being held from Phuket Town to Laem Phromthep and back as Phuket marks “World Car Free Day” this year.

 

The mass cycling event will start from Saphan Hin at 5:30am, with cyclists crossing the Thepsrisin Bridge, passing through the intersection at Sakdidet Rd and turning left onto Chao Fa East Rd at the Dowroong Wittaya School intersection.

 

From there cyclists will continue to Chalong Circle and along Wiset Rd to Rawai Beach, and on to Phromthep Cape. After a brief rest, the cyclists will return to Saphan Hin along the same route.

I live in Udon. Is the offer of a free car only for Phuket residents?

Free car day (should read car-free day) but motorists are being “urged to exercise caution”.

A bit contradictory. If really a car-free day, there shouldn’t be any cars on the road.
