Chiang Mai’s biggest ever classic car event
The biggest ever gathering of classic cars in Chiang Mai took place on Sunday to celebrate the owners’ new website: www.chiangmaiclassiccar.com
Fifty cars and 8 scooters assembled at the Yaang Come Hotel, Sidornchai Road, as guests of the owner Khun Jitapong Guawong, whose front door was flanked by his 1940’s Mercedes Benz and 1950’s Armstrong Siddeley. But it was not only glamorous limousines and Porsches posing for the cameras. Long and short wheelbase Land Rovers, two Mokes (the jeep version of the Mini), a split-screen VW Kombi and a turbocharged Mazda pick up truck added to the huge variety.
Guest of honour from Bangkok was Khun Pravut Kanchanawat, vice president of the national Classic Car Association Thailand.
The new website is being linked to the English language www.classiccarsoflanna.com and more photos from Sunday can be seen on www.city-now.com (go to Social Scene and click on classic cars).
Owners meet on the last Sunday morning of each month. Next is November 29th at NIM City Daily, the shopping area near the airport with the Rimping supermarket.
