PHUKET: -- A 20-kilometer bike ride organized as part of the ‘Nation Bike Thailand 2017’ event was held in Phuket yesterday and attracted more than 4,000 cyclists to the island.

“The event was held under the theme of ‘Pan Yon Muang, Chim Ahan, Laokhan Reung Muang Too at Phuket’, or ‘Cycling for city sight seeing, tasting food and telling stories of Kathu City, Phuket’,” said Kathu Mayor Chaianan Sutthikul.

Participants started the ride in front of the Kathu Municipality Office and proceeded to Surakul Stadium, Vichit Songkran Rd, Krabi Road and the old town. The course then continued on toward the clock tower and Saphan Hin public park before returning by a different route to the municipality office.

Sure would be nice to hear about these events BEFORE they happen...

 

Searched the forum, and found no mention of it.  Another fail.  But that ad count seems to be increasing nicely.

 

 

And next week 3,600 finished cycling event, 25 get mowed down by trucks, 15 have gone missing, 10 arrested for wearing helmets and making the Thais lose face and 350 never started the event and are still in a Bangla bar.
