Sanook Thai Caption: Sexy international Run makes comeback

 

Thailand's popular "Bikini Run" is set to be the highlight of the year when it is expected to return in May.

 

The event held in Pattaya on the beach has in the past featured plenty of local "talent", not just runners!

 

The pandemic has dealt a blow to the popular race but with the situation improving it is hoped that this year's event will be a watershed moment.

Last year it was cancelled altogether. 

 

The last time it was held in October 2020 it was a late afternoon/night event called the Central Festival Bikini Beach Race.

 

All the protocols had to be in place. 

 

Now organizers are saying they hope to hold it in May this year.

 

In exactly what form will be announce shortly, reported Sanook.

 

In the meantime the media shared lots of pictures of the previous year it was held - many are bound to raise temperatures in already sizzling Thailand.

Bikini Run like in 'long bikini tops, as women wear them for jogging every morning' (as most of the lasses in the pics do)? - Yawn!! (But maybe exciting for the Saudis.)

 

 

Absolutely disgusting I won't be going.

 

Where and when?.......just so I don't accidently see it

I’ll bring my camera

The girls in the photos are nothing like the ones I see foreigners with on Soi Bukao!

It seems more like a fashion-Shooting for Puma (and Adidas maybe). Do they get the Bikinis for free? Can they keep them after the run?

Nothing says "equality" and "respect" like a bikini run.

 

I say make them run in high heels.

 

Extra points for tidying up along the route, and/or preparing dinner.

And I’m waiting for those same foreigners to post their usual comments...  Perhaps its still too early for the bar-spoolers to be up....  

 

... too pasty, these are not from real Thailand, these are not representative of real Thai girls, too much plastic surgery....

 

 

I sometimes think that some posters believe that if a woman doesn’t have a load of tattoos, is not dark skinned, hanging on to a pole or bored s#itless playing candy-crush propping up a bar-stool eating for the next hansum man...  then they are not real Thai women !!!!

Why equality ??? ....     you can put on a bikini and do the run if you like !!! 

 

 

Ok ok, I get your point which is fitting with the wokeism in the west...  but really, if women want to do a bikini run thats entirely their choice - its a bit of fun and I don’t see a problem with it. 

 

I’m glad Thailand reserves its ‘faux-outrage’ for beer adverts and lets this stuff go !...  although I can’t help but feel its only a matter of time before the ‘puritanical’ government glam-down on such events for their idea of bringing the reputation of Thailand into disrepute !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

.. Alright.. shake rattle and roll.

There is always a chance some will not be women here.

What have all these women been doing since the last bikini run... and where?  Asking for a friend.

Endorsed by our most popular prime minister or will he give us his view of how they should dress?

 

Many years ago i did the popular Zevenheuvelen loop,seven hills run ,in the

Netherlands.

I was hoping for a new personal best time but i got stuck behind a very attractive looking

girl in a bikini outfit.

I decided not to pass her just in case she needed any help.

Inspiring to say the least!

Bikinis (and alcohol) in bars: no. Bikini Run: yes, as long as everyone gets presents (or brown envelopes) from Puma's promotion department. (Why not be real, and call it Puma Run, or Cougar Run?)

Looks awful....then thinks "what can I do with the missus while this is being held?"

Cougar run has a nasty sound to it lol.

The waiting is over, you have already posted it all.

Don't forget your plastic mack while you're avoiding such a gratuitous sleaze fest

Where are the gorgeous darker skinned gals, without the surgery? There are plenty of natural beauties here, without the pasty skin.

Bingo....  thank you for obliging....

 

However, there is no proof that they are ‘real Thai women’ we can’t see if they have tattoo’s...

Would you like to have them after the run? It can probably be arranged for a fee...
