Last year Miss Phuket Bike Week 2013 was a smash hit. This year, 2014, will be even more spectacular because it's the 20th Anniversary of Phuket Big Bike Week.

The annual beauty pageant will take place from April 11-14. Walk-in applications are being accepted now at the Andaman Embrace Resort and Spa in Patong.  Applicants must bring with them an authentic copy of their ID card, and two 4x6” photographs, one of their full figure, and one just of their upper half.  Eligible applicants will be called to assemble agin on April 8 at the Andaman Embrace Resort and Spa from 10am, when a panel will select the final 20 contestants as well as take photographs and film a VTR with other contestants and pageant organizers.

Last years Phuket Bike Week 2013 was a roaring success and the crowning of the beauty queen was a spectacle itself. Who will it be this year....You?

Once again it is that time of year when bikers will gather on the island of Phuket. This year is  truly special. PHUKET BIG BIKE WEEK 2014 “ASEAN Ride Together”, the Asian biggest motorcycle event, will celebrate the 20th anniversary on 11th -19th April 2014. This event will be the large gathering of 40,000 visitors from 25 countries and expected expecting to draw over 8,000 motorcycles to Phuket. The fanfare of Big Bike Week 20th Anniversary will take place in the similar grounds of Loma Park at Patong Beach on 11th -14th April 2014 and later move to the island's capital of Phuket Town on 18th-19th April 2014. Similar to 2013 Bike Week last year, it clashes with the Thai new year, the Songkran Festival (Water Festival) so its going to be a wet & wild party in Phuket.

Over the last week the Phuket Bike Week 2013 has been ongoing and so has the Miss Phuket Bike Week Contest 2013. It's just part of the annual festival and who doesn't know that bikes & babes are just the norm when it comes to events like this. This year it's been another friendly rivalry for all contestants who have also been enjoying themselves around the bikes, poolside, the beach and the Loma park grounds where the event is held every year.

The finals was held after the "Ride For Peace" from Patong to Chalong to Promtep Cape and back to the event area where there was a band performance first then the finals itself. The contestants looked a little nervous but composed. In addition they all looked fabulous on stage. The winner, by popular vote, took away the title and 30,000 Baht in prize money. Not too ba for a week's work indeed.

Not forgetting, when one event ends in Phuket, another begins. The Phuket Pride Week 2013 kicks off on Monday 22nd April with an opening night street party on Soi Paradise at 10pm. Don’t miss the fun, spectacular grand parade on Saturday 27th April, with its colourful floats and flashy costumes. The Phuket Pride Week 2013 runs until 28 April.
