Phuket Bike Week organisers raise awareness

Phuket Bike Week’s organisers hosted a gathering last night (April 7) at Central Festival that brought together everyone from would-be beauty queens to the Royal Thai Navy, to raise awareness of events in the upcoming big bike.

Among those present were Rear Admiral Tiensiri Montrivet of the Royal Thai Navy, Governor Nisit Jansomwong, Phuket City Deputy Mayor Kawee Tansukatanonjoint and Santi Pawai, Director of the Ministry of Tourism & Sports Phuket

Mr Kawee said, “We are happy that bike week activities will take place at Sapan Hin. We are ready to present our city to everyone.”

Mr Santi said, “This event has support from many sectors. I wish the activities will be interesting for both Phuket people and tourists.”

R/Adm Tiensiri raised a laugh with his short speech: “If you want to be happy for a year, just get married. If you to be happy forever, get a bike!”

Pol Col Chaiwat Uikam Superintendent of Kathu Police Station, which oversees Patong, the focus of the first half of Bike Week, reassured those present, “Traffic may be a bit slow [during Bike Week] but we will look after everything as best we can.”
