I've heard this story since I was in high school. I feel really proud of them because they are the first couple of Thai who went around the world by bicycle. Once day, the director of my highschool invited them to reveal their experiences to the students. They made me much impressed and wondered with the things which they've done. Sometimes it seems like they copied from the novel but it's the real. They did represent Thailand to foreigner sights and exchanged the culture with the local people each country. They started cycling from Radchada road on 30 November 2001 then they went down to the southern Thailand and rode to Malaysia. For over 3 years, they reached the U.S.A. and went forward to Europe. The most of trouble occured there but also the best experience. Then they rode to Russia and backed to Asia. They spent all 5 years 11 months and 1 day with their bicycles. This news was spread quickly when they arrived Thailand. And I am the one of people who follow their news.
This is Wan and Moo picture. I am going to tell you their brief biographies. The first one is Orawan Othong . She was born on 20 Sep ,1970 in Sukhothai and used to cycle to school for five years. She got a scholarship to study in Chilton High School in U.S.A. It's the beginning point of her inspiration to travel around the world. One day, she met Mou who is her partner cycling in the Sanamluang project. His name is Charoen Othong. He dreams to be a travel writer. He loves a nature and traveling. He often goes to the peace places when he is in holiday.I hope this news maybe persuade you to follow their route because it gives you just the advantage things for the good health and great experiences.
