New route to health
Published on Nov 25, 2001
Usually smoggy Silom Road will become a picture of health today, as it 
hosts the biggest gathering of tai chi practitioners in the country's 
history in an event dubbed "Healthy Silom".

This is the second Sunday in the "7 Wonders @ Silom" series, a programme 
aimed at saving energy, reducing pollution on Silom Road and promoting 
tourism by opening the street up to pedestrians once a week.

Last Sunday's theme was "Green Silom". A bicycle race and other activities 
were held on Bangkok's main business thoroughfare, which was closed to traffic.

Dr Tawatchai Laosirihong, head of the campaign, declared last week's event 
a success, saying it attracted plenty of interest from the public.
