Bike Week Phuket Boat Lagoon 2020

PHUKET BIKE WEEK 2020 “ASIAN Ride Together”, the legendary event in Asia, will celebrate the 26th anniversary on 11th – 13th April 2020. This event will be the large gathering of motorcyclists, expecting to draw over 10,000 motorcycles, 50,000 visitors from 30 countries to Phuket. The excitement will take place in Patong Beach on 11th – 13th April 2020 and in Phuket Boat Lagoon on 17th -18th April 2020.

In the period around the Thai New Year’s celebration (Songkran), you will hear the roar of motorcycles wandering throughout the streets of Phuket Town. Just a day after the bikers have enjoyed three days of all kind of entertainment, from live music to cowboy shows and the Miss Phuket Bike Week pageant at the Loma (Dolphin) Park on Patong Beach, the caravan moves on to the “Anuphas courtyard” near Phang Nga Rd in Phuket Town for more.

This all started as a “grease monkeys” party 22 years ago, where two motorcycle clubs, the Phuket Rider and the Sun of Chewa, would meet at Mitrapap Beach or Friendship Beach (as it is known today) on an open field for a bit of fun; they were also joined by a few tourist bikers who happened to be on the island at the time. Through the years this “get together” has transformed itself into the big festival that it has become nowadays with around 10,000 bikers and 50,000 spectators expected every year!

Supported by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) among others, this annual Phuket Bike Week event (covering two weekends), with “Ride Together Asean” as its motto, could not be possible without the Ride Thailand Magazine, which refers to itself as the best biker’s magazine of South East Asia.

The Motorcycle Festival kicks off on Friday around 13.00 with various exhibitions and open food stalls, as well as beautiful girls promoting the bikes from Harley Davidson, India, Honda, BMW, Yamaha, Ducati … and so on. Live Music starts at 17.30 until midnight, only interrupted by the welcome speech of the Phuket Bike Week Association, the exchange of club flags and to honor individuals for their contribution to increasing and upholding the safety standards for all participants on the road. You can join the Bikers and participate in the convoy around Phuket Town to promote “Safe Riding: Helmets on Heads and Lights on Bikes”.

* There are two Bike Week Events in Phuket: one in Phuket Boat Lagoon and one in Patong.
