In honor of Thailand’s Father’s Day this Dec. 5, all fathers in the kingdom will be able to ride the BTS Skytrain and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) for free when accompanied by their children.

We’ll give all the dads out there a brief moment to contain their excitement.

The campaign was announced this week by the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA), the main operator of public transit transportations in the capital, which said it’s doing it as a tribute to former King Bhumibol Adulyadej, reported Thairath.

The BMTA explained that the ride giveaway is a bid to encourage family bonding as well as a chance for children to show gratitude to and for their father.

From 6am-12am on Dec. 5, fathers and children can obtain coupons from ticketing offices at all stations to ride any line of the BTS for free.

Children under 90 centimeters ride gratis.

But that’s not all — Sky SmartPass 30-day and Rabbit Card holders will also be able to visit major tourist attractions including the Ancient City and Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall free of charge.

Enjoy, daddios.
