Pattaya Provincial Court is hoping to spread harmony through the
Pattaya area with a 50-kilometer bike ride Sunday, July 20.
The court’s Mediation Club is joining with Pattaya City Hall, the
Tourism Authority of Thailand, Pattaya Business & Tourism Association
and Pattaya Cycling Club for the event, which also will offer a shorter
ride of 15 kilometers for VIPs.
The 50 kilometer route starts at Pattaya Court, makes its way out to
Siam Country Club, past Thammasart University, out to Huay Yai, past the
Attorney’s Office to Jomtien 2nd Road, and back to Pattaya Court.
The 15 kilometers VIP route also starts at Pattaya Court, but heads out
along Jomtien 2nd Road up to Sukhumvit Highway, makes a U-turn and
returns to Pattaya Court via the same route, although with a stop at Soi
Jomtien Palm Beach to play 2 games on the beach.
Representatives from all five organizations met July 2 to plan details
of the July 20 ride, which is meant to promote mediation as a way to
promote a harmonious society. The ride also will highlight Pattaya as an
eco-tourism destination.
Pattaya Police and the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan will provide
security and first-aid services, city hall will provide staff to run the
event and the cycling club is handling registrations.
