Their Majesties the King and Queen visited Phichit province on Saturday to open a new museum, launch a lake development project, and open a new bicycle motocross racing course where HM the Queen rode a bike.

Part of Akara Gold Mine in Phichit’s Thap Khlo district is being eyed for development as the province’s new mountain bike arena, which will also double as a training centre of international standard for the national team’s athletes.
