About 20 kilometers worth of Bangkok road will be shut down for 12 hours Sunday to celebrate Mother’s Day in August.
A cycling route along Si Ayutthaya, Paholyothin and Vibhavadi roads will close from 9am to 9pm on Aug. 16 for a public Mother’s Day ride.
The “Bike For Mom” ride will be the biggest of its kind, and the Royal Thai Police are preparing for more than 50,000 cyclists to hit the streets, for which they’ve decided to shut down several major roads all day.
Starting from Dusit Palace on Sri Ayutthaya Road, the round-trip route will run past Victory Monument and up Vibhavadi Road before turning back at the Infantry Department 11 Royal Guard on Paholyothin Road back to the starting point, for a total of 43 kilometers.
About 10,000 police officers and volunteers will be deployed along the route, handing out water and monitoring safety, Daily News reported.
For those who are interested, you can register for the ride.
For those who aren’t, check out the map and avoid traffic.
