TIANJIN, July 31 (Xinhua) -- China's leading bike-sharing company Ofo on Monday announced its expansion into Thailand.
Thailand is the fifth overseas market for Ofo, known for its signature yellow bikes, following Singapore, the United States Zach Duke Jersey , Britain and Kazakhstan.
A total of 6,000 bikes will be put into use in the capital city of Bangkok from Aug. 1, after a successful month-long trial run was earlier completed at a local university.
A ride on an Ofo bike will costs 5 baht per 30 minutes, with a deposit of 99 baht.
The bikes will be offered for free for the first three months.
"Thailand has a population of nearly 70 million and traffic jams have become a big headache in cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai," said Cao Xiao, head of Ofo's Asian-Pacific department. "By offering Thailand users a customized service, we hope the transport system in major Thailand cities can be improved with our shared bikes in the near future."
Ofo said it had partnered with electronic payment platform Adyen to allow overseas users access to their services. The company said it planned to enter 20 countries by the end of 2017.
After huge success in the domestic market, Chinese bike-sharing companies are accelerating their steps into the global market. Earlier this month Jhonny Peralta Jersey , Mobike announced entrance into Italy, its fourth overseas market following Singapore, Britain and Japan.

EVER the showman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to be reveling in maintaining the suspense.
Why accept a one-year contract extension from Manchester United now when you can sustain the ambiguity and add to the mystique?
“Let’s see what happens,” Ibrahimovic said after his free kick and header helped United win the League Cup on Sunday.
“I will stop on top. If I don’t perform, if I don’t bring results, I will not play,” the Swede added. “I will not be like other players Mike Matheny Jersey , playing because they (had) a great career and name and they are still playing because they are who they are.”
Even at 35, though, Ibrahimovic is feeding off his goals rather than his reputation. “I’m an animal,” he said. “I feel like a lion.”
United manager Jose Mourinho certainly wants the striker to stay for another year. After Ibrahimovic produced another age-defying, match-winning display and took his tally for the season to 26 goals, Mourinho said he would not “beg” Ibrahimovic to prolong his stay.
The fans are another matter. If there’s any doubt Ibrahimovic could call it quits after a single season in English soccer, Mourinho quipped that supporters should camp outside his house.
It was Ibrahimovic’s sons, Vincent and Maximilian Brett Cecil Jersey , who urged their father to make England his next — potentially final — destination in a nomadic playing career after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired last year.
