BANGKOK, Nov 29 – The Bangkok Metro Company Limited (BMCL), the underground train operator, is offering a free ride for fathers on His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s birthday, which Thailand celebrates also as Father’s Day.

Chartchai Praditpong, BMCL corporate relations director, said the company will offer a free ride for fathers on Father’s Day to celebrate His Majesty the King’s birthday on December 5.

The free ride campaign is to pay homage to the King and his great contributions to the country as well as to foster family relationships, he added.

Children who are less than 90 centimetres tall are eligible for a free ride as well.
