Bangkok – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is launching a three-day ‘Pan Yok Khrua Tour Ko Samui Talui Ko Taen’ family cycling trip from 6-8 April, 2018, offering a chance for families to have healthy fun together amid the beautiful islands in the Gulf of Thailand.

The trip is open for 400 Thai and foreign family cyclists inclusive of a brand shirt and six meals. The fee does not cover accommodation, but space for camping tents is available free-of-charge on Ko Taen.

Mrs. Nongyao Jirundorn, Director of TAT Ko Samui Office, said: “Samui can be seen for the first time and on repeat visits in different ways. By bicycle offers the chance to discover unique Thai local experiences and the ‘Thainess’ of the locals, while embracing an inclusive tourism approach which TAT is focusing more on with the ‘Open to the New Shades’ marketing concept.”

Coming under the long established ‘Amazing Thailand’ brand, ‘Open to the New Shades’ encourages tourists to discover Thailand again and again, each time from a new perspective.

Mrs. Nongyao, “This ‘Pan Yok Khrua Tour Ko Samui Talui Ko Taen’ trip is, as its namesake, to encourage the entire family to enjoy cycling together or ‘Pan Yok Khrua’ while exploring the beautiful scenery and key attractions of Ko Samui and Ko Taen.

‘The trip is in line with TAT’s ‘Amazing Thailand – Open to the New Shades’ concept in a way that participants will be exploring the islands of Samui and Taen from a different perspective – on a bicycle – while spending quality family time together.”

The three-day programme will begin with participant registration and shirt collection at Na Thon Pier on Ko Samui from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, 6 April.

On Saturday, 7 April, registration will continue from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., followed by a welcome speech by Mrs. Nongyao Jirundorn, Director of TAT Ko Samui Office, after which the bicycle caravan will set off along Provincial Highway 4169 and 4174 to It-viset Pier at Na Sai Bay.
