    “Thailand is just, Thailand”. Chad, that is the most definitive description I’ve ever heard! Love your video adventures, you’re experiencing much more of Thailand than I had opportunity to do when stopping over in Pattaya or Phuket with the Navy years ago. Keep up the excellent adventures!!

    That launch mechanism thing that they have is super neat. It completely prevents anybody jumping the start and keeps it perfectly equal. The ingenuity here is so cool to see, and I think it'd be hard to ever see something like this in America with all of the ridiculous regulations we've got. It'd be shut down so quick.

    Racing here in Chanthaburi province - 5km from Thai Mai, Khlobg Khut on 29 January and 5 March 2023. We've been attending since 2012, missed a couple due to Covid but all on again to this year, difference here is that it is up to six boats racing at a time, they go around a buoy to race back to the start-finish line.

  • @skip728

    brings a whole new meaning to ricer.
    should edit that racing use sticker to say "for ricing use only"
    Oh and the boats were tight too but that machine stole the show, especially with the P.A. struggles lol.
    And man do I wish I could just walk out to my front yard spectate some races and get wasted with the crowd, would probably invite the cool/hot ones to come in and have dinner afterwards lol. Not to mention the fishing amd swimming possibilities! although idk if I'd eat anything that came out of that particular river

    In the first shot where there are two boats and then a closeup of the boat on the left it has a Kawasaki 650 engine but they ditched the pulse driven carbs and looks like it has motorcycle carbs with a fuel pump driven off the PTO. Really interesting setup. I want to see the ignition setup on that thing.

    Sir, I think that those machines are awesome! I love the fact that the prop shaft is so long, and they have such a torque advantage upon the water surface, making it almost impossible for those boats to flip! Very cool idea, part of the reason why I have liked the video is those because I am a mechanic and also of my finding it funny over the PA system being so loud, ha ha but I could hear you just fine. I’m sure everyone else could too. I’m sure being there it was very deafening.😂
