Belgian Axel Ewbanks, his Thai wife Pareechat and their trusted family dog are planning a five-year, round-the-world trip by Tuk-Tuk. They are calling their quest the “See the World on a Thai Tuk-Tuk Project”.

In 1996, the adventurous couple drove their Tuk-Tuk from Bangkok to Malaysia, then to India, Nepal, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Monaco, and France, ending up in Brussels, Belgium. The 33,250 kilometer trip took nine months to complete. At the time, they were promoting tourism in Thailand and the 13th Asian Games.

Prior to their round-the-world trip, Mr. & Mrs. Ewbanks returned to Thailand to complete a social activity. With this noble goal in mind, they organized the “Amazing Beach Project” to clean up the beach from Pattaya to Naklua.

Mr. and Mrs. Ewbanks gained the cooperation and support of the Pattaya City Administration, the TAT, the Thai Shell Company and the Belgium Embassy in Thailand. The project was announced on 18 October at the Mercure Hotel.
