Organised to coincide with the Thai festival Songkran, the Phuket Bike Week is an event like no other and is quite a unique event for tourists to witness. This biking event is complete with a number of activities which include a Motorcycle Exhibition, a Beach Party, a Grand Dinner, Bike Contest, Miss PBW, a Tattoo Contest and many more and the variety of activities attract people from all walks of life who join together to celebrate their love of motorcycles. For those who wish to encounter this event, the Phuket Bike Week takes place at a myriad of locations but mostly on Patong Beach, a football field in the area and the Jungceylon Mega Mall.
Of the myriad of activities available, the Motorcycle Exhibition attracts the largest crowd as enthusiasts flock to the event to get a closer look at some of the bigger and better names in the motorcycle industry such as Harley Davidson, Yamaha, BMW and Kawasaki. The Phuket Bike Week also promotes unity and aims to attract motorcycle enthusiasts not only from Thailand, but from other Asian countries such as Malaysia and Singapore whilst promoting the theme of “ASEAN Ride Together’. In 2012, an event called the ‘Ride for Peace’ was held where a biker parade rode around the island from Patong to Leam Phrom Thep after which a beach party was held to celebrate the event.
Tourists staying at a Phuket hotel can easily witness this spectacle by making their way to Loma Park and for those who want to have a souvenir to remember the event, a collection of motorcycle gear is available ranging from boots, gloves, jackets and helmets to smaller tokens such as caps, stickers and key chains. Thus, whether you’re a true motorcycle enthusiast or a tourist residing in a Phuket beach resort, there is something for everyone at this epic attraction. if you are living outside Phuket or even Thailand and is searching for accommodation during this time, consider booking the Anantara Phuket Resort Thailand whose location by the beach coupled with its world class meals make it a wonderful place to return to after a blissful day at the Phuket Bike Week.
