We're always on the lookout for worldwide scenes, pretty much any country that has cars in any kind of number will have a car scene of some sort. For us it is even better if they have a classic car scene, so I was delighted to find out about one in Thailand.
As far as we can tell so far the internet presence is centred around
Bangkok Classic Car forum sadly we have no useful Thai translation software available to us, so we're attempting to muddle through with some words in English and a lot of random clicking.
Thus far we've found what appears to be the
meeting section this has some great threads from shows and meetings not only in Thailand but also other parts of Asia and further down to Australia.
The "Readers Rides" type section
appears to be here so you can get a feel for what sort of projects are happening, there seems to be a Japanese influence to a lot of it, and the quality seems to be top notch.
The real trick when surfing on sites in languages you don't speak is spotting the links and image hosting sources. We managed to find this great gallery :

We hope to find out more and will report back as soon as we do... if you're in Thailand, contact us !
