Phuket, Thailand: Thanyapura Sports & Leisure Club Phuket recently organised a magnificent Christmas tree lighting ceremony to mark the beginning of the festive season. To promote one of the most popular sports on the island, triathlon cycling, the tree was creatively formed by joining up ten bicycles of varying sizes with a stunning lighting design.
Of course, it takes a true Olympian to light up a Christmas tree at Thanyapura, so three times LPT winner, second place winner in the recent 70.3 Ironman Phuket on December 2nd and triathlon Olympian, Radka Vodickova, was the guest of honour, spinning the generator wheel to send electricity flying up and illuminating the most unique Christmas tree ever seen on Phuket.
Bikes and bulbs combine to make Thanyapura’s dazzling Christmas tree entirely unique.
