The participants started the 30-kilometre ride at Song Thale Park’s Serpent Naga Head fountain plaza and proceeded on a seaside route and into the old city area. The event coincided with the southern province’s hosting the 45th Thailand National Games until Friday.
The ride was part of the year-long Nation Bike Thailand 2017 campaign, which is being held by Nation TV in collaboration with Mitsubishi Motors, the CP Group and other partners in participating provinces.
Celebrating its fourth year, the campaign is aimed at promoting exercise, good health through cycling, tourism and protecting the environment. Twelve provinces will host the event from March to December.
