Thailand is full of people who love to cycle. And any self-respecting country that loves to cycle must have a huge cycle track, which is why a bike lane stretching almost 200 kilometers is in the pipeline.
If built, it will be the biggest of its kind in Asia.
The asphalt covered 184km lane will pass through Pathumthani, Ayutthya, Ang Thong, Singburi and Chainat and cost THB1.5 billion.
The proposed design specifies a total lane width of 3 meters which is divided into two 1.5 meter opposing lanes.
Periodic rest-stops will also be along the route and engineers involved are confident that it will be a safe bicycle lane that is comparable to international standards, reported Thai PBS.
The project is expected to start later this year and be completed by 2017.
Until then, cyclists will have to make do with navigating the streets of Bangkok.
