Thailand is preparing for waves of blue to fill the streets as hundreds of thousands of people across the country turn out for His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn’s much-awaited bicycle ride in honour of Her Majesty the Queen, who turned 83 last Wednesday.
More than 294,000 cyclists have registered for “Bike for Mom”, the first event of its kind.
The highlight will be an appearance by His Royal Highness in Bangkok.
Also in the procession will be Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, his cabinet members and many other VIPs. The event is scheduled to start at 3pm and is expected to end at 7pm
