Thai subjects in about 70 countries are expected to join their compatriots in Thailand to ride a bike on December 11 in celebration of His Majesty the King’s 88th birthday anniversary.
“The organisers expect Thais living in around 70 countries to take part in this event held to mark the King's 88th birthday which falls on December 5,” Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said.
The bicycle ride will start at 3 pm in Bangkok. On this occasion, HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn will preside over the opening ceremony and will also lead riders in front of the Dusit Palace in Bangkok on a 29-kilometre loop. Other provinces will inaugurate the event at the same time on routes passing key religious sites and other important places in their neighbourhoods.
Those who are interested in taking part in the event can or call 1122 or register via www.bikefordad2015.com.
