Popular Post Yessongs Posted December 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hit the car show here at Impact last Saturday. Was good, the usual manufactures were there, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda etc. The high end cars like BMW, Lexus, Maserati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Audi, Mercedes Benz were all there too. Few Electric Vehicle manufactures were there, but not Tesla? Hmmm…. There were some great Motorcycles with all the big players and some vintage Cars and Boats too…..big ones! Had a good time as always, the models were on their game and talked to a few of them after they do their routine. The BMW gal tells me she does this to make extra money to pay off her school loans and is working on her MBA. She works in Marketing for a “Public Relations Firm” Can tell…..her English is perfect Nice gal.. Just like the Ford Gal, she too told me she is finishing college soon and wants to work in Finance. Girl was adorable... @lazarus Well Matt, your "Gik" was not there....the lovely Nong Natt.....as was rumored on some of the local Social Media sites. I was disappointed 😞 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Nice pics. Seems the 'pretties' are now required to dress in 'G-rated' outfits. Too bad. ☹️ . . . ps: Seems Nong Nat was out 'carting around'...missed her car show tee time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualung Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 As per usual... Good work Mike. I arrived in BKK yesterday so probably missed the car show. Will pm you nearer to New year to see if dinner is still on with you and Rachanee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessongs Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Appreciate the inputs gentlemen, yeah this car show is kind of G rated ( at least the girls dress) The other car show in June, the girls are a bit more "in the open" I'll be back.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Great report, as usual Mike. Went to that show a few years back with Boydeste. Nice day, except I got the shits. Not the easiest place in Bangkok to get to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john luke Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I don't know what Mike ( @Yessongs ) thought, but having visited the show yesterday afternoon, I left feeling a little disappointed. The overall impact or sparkle of previous shows, just did not seem to be there. The models were wearing masks; some were prepared to remove them for photographs, however a number were not. It may well be a case of my remembering previous shows through rose coloured sunglasses and/or having higher than reasonable expectations as this was the first motor show I had visited in Thailand since Covid. I found the range of classic cars the most interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The Fall show is always more subdued compared to the Spring show, but... Just maybe legions of ogling DOM photogs were detracting from the primary purpose of the show -- selling cars? This change began prior to Covid. The 'decency police' were out in full force at the shows. Regardless, great photography practice and some very nice new cars. 😉 . . .

Glass, my first job right out of San Jose State, was working for a company called "Northern Telecom" My boss was about 5 years older then me right? He bought a brand new 260Z. We had to go to other offices in a city called "Mt. View" I was completely blown away when we got on the freeway how "quick" that 260Z was! I wanted one, never got it. 23 hours ago, john luke said: I don't know what Mike ( @Yessongs ) thought, but having visited the show yesterday afternoon, I left feeling a little disappointed.

John, I went on Saturday, it was crowded, I thought the vibe was not as good as it was before, even with all the people there, but I still enjoyed the show none the less. Had not been to one of these since 2018, so not sure if it is fair to compare you know? I think with most things "Thailand" I hate to say this but......things were a bit more "lively" years back. Will see the "Bangkok Auto Salon" show in June with all the "jacked up" Japanese imports these guys bring to show and the girls will be less conservatively dressed I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
