       This is the second time on street of Thailand to have Microcar parade event after it was previously held in December 2010. And this time is more fantastic because of the large amount of 99 microcars, 11 Solex Bicycles, 11 Asean Paddle Rickshaws, 2 seven-seat bicycles, 16 international buses and some other classic cars. The cars are driven by Asean diplomats, soldiers, police men, sport men, movie stars, artists, students, business men, and museum staffs.<\/p>\n

The procession starts at 3 P.M. moving from the Royal Thai Army Headquarters to Ratchadamnoen Avenue passing United Nations building, heading to the Royal Plaza before making u-turn and taking over Ratchadamnoen again moving to the wall of the Grand Palace, the starting point of the 5-kilometer historical avenue.<\/p>\n
