PHUKET: Local officials have urged motorists to keep clear of “Big Day” routes across Phuket on Thursday (Aug 4) as motorcades of sound trucks, big bike motorcycles, scores of cyclists and a street parade head out from Saphan Hin to encourage people to vote in the constitutional referendum on Sunday (Aug 7).

 

The motorcades, cyclists and street parade will leave Saphan Hin after Phuket Governor Chamroen Tipayapongtada declares the event officially open at 9am and head out into all three districts on the island, said a notice issued by the Phuket office of the Public Relations Department today (Aug 3)

 

The Big Day event campaign in Phuket is organised by Election Commission Phuket office (PEC) and other departments to raise awareness of the referendum on Sunday and aims to encourage all eligible voters to take part, the notice said.

 

In addition to the multiple street processions, displays and exhibitions will be set up at Saphan Hin as part of the event for people to learn about the Thai constitution and the upcoming referendum.

 

Motorists are advised to beware changes to traffic flow at Saphan Hin to allow the processions to proceed unimpeded. Also, parking in certain areas will be marked off as reserved for VIPs, the notice added.

 

The processions are as follows:
