Thaivisa News Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Songkhla:- About 5,000 big bike riders are expected to join the Sadao Border Bike Week 2015 in Songkhla's Sadao district which officially begins Friday. The event is held by the Samnak Kham Municipality of Tambon Dannok on the multipurpose ground of the VJ Dannok Resort on Kanchanawanit road. The venue ground is quite large with 20 rai of area. Kecha Benjakhan, mayor of the municipality, said about 5,000 big-bike motorcycles from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam will join the event and about 30 super cars from Singapore will also be put on show at the fair. He said there will also be concerts from well-known Thai singers and Malaysian rock bands. The Thai singers, who will perform at the fair, include Ponthep Kradonechamnarn, Sek Loso, Pong, Kob, and Taxi. The mayor said the event is aimed at promoting tourism of the Sadao border town because earlier, foreign tourists simply passed through Sadao to visit other parts of Thailand. He said tourist destinations in the district include a dinosaur park and there are many hotels from three to five stars available in the district. Kecha noted that the dinosaur park in Sadao is the biggest one in the deep South. The event is an annual tourism activity of Tambon Dannok and it is supported by the Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Sing Corporation, the MBI Group, and the Sadao Riders Club. A part of proceeds from the fair will be given to help local mosques sand schools in remote areas of the tambon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gweiloman Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 What a brilliant stroke of genius to have a bike weekend in the middle of June and in the middle of nowhere. The ride there would either be in hot baking sun or drenching rain. I can hardly wait to go (not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldiablo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have a big bike and would love to go to something like this but I will be darned if I'm driving 13 hours in this scorching heat to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbelyeu Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 This is a great event. We did the trip from Patts a couple years ago only stopping in Chumphon and Songkla before ending the ride in Dannok. The ride back was Dannok to Phuket then Hua Hin and around to Patts the next morning. A very good ride this is... I am offshore right now or I would be there.
