Pattaya is ready to welcome 50,000 motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world when Burapa Bike Week kicks off again Feb. 12-13, Deputy Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh said.
Ronakit was speaking Jan. 26 outside the Eastern National Indoor Sports Stadium on Soi Chaiyapruek 2 in Jomtien Beach where the festival will be held.
Prasan Nikaji, president of Siam Motorbikes and head of the Burapa Motorcycle Club, said earlier that the event this year will focus more on music than bikes, with Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thai scheduled to headline a local band both days.
