Thanks for being that guy out their and showing us all back at home the cool things happening on that side of the world. Need we also mention travel tips! Thanks Man!!! #respect
I do appreciate Larry’s visit to Thailand. He was so true on many points. Cost of entry to this is so expensive compared to the other parts of the world. Next time you should spend some time with the people in the real motorsport world here. While these Hondas are cool as the footage, you should be aware that we as Thai locals do not appreciate their reckless behaviors on our streets of Thailand. Such actions have brought losses and disturbances to our communities. As you know our land is highly corrupted. Police couldn’t do much. As a car enthusiast myself, I would highly appreciate if you might shed some light on our real racing community. You know people here. Chad can point you to the right connections. We do amazing things here on the tracks too !
@@filmculture2884 That’s very cliche to hear. As someone who’s been through car cultures in many parts of the world. I can tell you Thais car culture is all about showing off and driving recklessly on the public streets. If you talk about this being the culture… you haven’t seen and been through about cars enough
CB Media has a couple videos on ambulances drag racing in Thailand. Other things they fully customize and drag race: actual delivery vans, rice tractors, and many more that I'll not spoil.
FYI. in Thailand, the EMT doesn't as well trained as the western EMT. so ambulance need to get to and from scene ASAP because they can only stabilize the patient. that is why they got all the mod and drive it like they stole it. also a lot of them are privately owned
Yes a lot of Thai people may be earning $300-$400 a month but these people can't go anywhere near cars. All the people you see in the video with their cars are all upperclass, some may even be millionaires (in US Dollars too). Cars are expensive in Thailand, only second to Singapore. Anything with more than 200 hp from the factory is likely imported, and thus was subject to over 200% import tax when it was new. So while it is good that there is no enforcement, the downside of the high import tax is that the car scene is very boring for middle class people. It's either Civics or motorcycles. Pickup trucks are also popular as they're cheaper than cars, and really the only way for the middle class to access a RWD + manual platform. Only the truly wealthy can enjoy anything interesting.
At the end of the day, car culture is just reserved for the rich, or at least for those who never had to worry about paying rent or putting meals on the table.
People need to keep in mind that most of the authentic parts, and all of the imported JDM cars have MASSIVE tariffs on them too. There's a LOT of money going around in this scene.
@@exstaticzzz9272 cars and car parts are the easiest way to blow up hard earned foreign reserves, thats why most countries in the world heavily tax fully built car's to push car makers into local assembly or make it unaffordable for local population to buy expensive imported cars in huge numbers. any time one of the non car making nations import a car they lose value on their dollar exchange.
I visited liberty walk while in Thailand and the owner and his son are the nicest guys ever! They showed me around all the cars in the shop and parked around outside.
I watched a doco somewhere about Thailand's Ambulances. They are private contractors that actually take you to hospital. So naturally because it's their own vehicle they can dress them up with their own personality. Reason is because of how dense BK is, its hard for the normal ambulance to attend to call outs quickly. So like a Taxi system, they assign the jobs to these contractors.
These videos are always the best. It is awesome to see the car culture thriving in different countries, and how their scenes differ. It doesn't matter what kind of cars you are into - having a tight nit group to cruise with is the best thing ever. While some of the cars in this video are not my preferred "style" - it is awesome they are doing what they are doing and enjoying their builds. Nothing says "not a real enthusiast" like hating on someone else's taste/choice in cars/build just because it isn't what you like. Appreciate all builds/scenes that are quality and respectful.
I've was into import racing scene in the 1990s in California, but I moved on after the 90s after having a family. Seeing these cars now reminds me of back in the days. All the cars shown are my style, they are designed the way I would. Thanks for the vid, I will put Thailand into my vacation destination.
It's another of the most amazing things in Thailand. It's filmed in a gas station. Whatever branch of the light, it's filmed beautifully in every corner. 😅

This is the country of diesel engines. We have been in the automotive industry for 60 years, since Toyota established its first production base outside Japan in Thailand 🇹🇭🫡
My retirement dream has always been to get a few friends together and find a struggling/ mostly vacant downtown in a rural area, buy up all the downtown buildings and turn them into apparentments upstairs, garages downstairs then have a large building behind as a community garage because doing car stuff is always more fun with friends.
I love and respect the Thai car culture and car scene. I’m glad to be able to attend most of the major meets and events there. It’s worth the time and sacrifices I give to this community. I love Thailand! Krup 🙏🥰🤙
Your videos bring the craziest amount of happiness to see the car culture from around the world. I've always been into jdm as a kid but never had a chance of owning a true jdm car till right before street take over in the US were becoming more of a threat to the real cars and coffee enthusiasts in the US. I've always had the dream of making videos of me working on my car and showing out but with covid around the corner around those times I kept the build a secret from the world. As mutch as I'd love to share with everyone what I have and my build I didn't want to get into a part of the culture I didn't want to be part of. Your videos show that it still exists. Even in crazy strick countries what everyone goes threw just to have the meet is amazing as the US takes it for granted.. one day ill follow in your footsteps and capture my view point of this amazing car enthusiasts world. BTW the build is on a 91 & 93 celica. And yea I have 2 of them now. Keep the videos coming. You don't know how much joy it brings to see enthusiasts culture in others perspectives
I'm a longtime fan of Larry Chen's videos and photos. As such, if Larry Chen is in, I'm in. Thank you Larry for your passion and skills at bringing to us the passion of others in car culture. Thank you Hagerty for supporting car culture and Larry Chen.
I don't know why, but the yellow RX at Smith's, with the Porsche headlights? I really like it. Liberty Walk is cool, but I will always love sleek, smooth cars that make you think "wait, is that a stock car, or custom?!" Definitely looking forward to more from Thailand and beyond.
Screw billionaires is the Larry Chens lifestyle that I'm jealous about. Ability to meet so many great people around the world and experience their car cultures is just awesome.
Those Toyota vans are awesome. Lots of private ambulances and would probably sell huge in the US. I'm going to ship my 86 4Runner to Thailand when I go. I've never seen one there in all of my travels.
Ive been a big fan of the channel glad yall appreciate the culture here 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭the 300% tax definitely contributes to the culture being the way it is ❤️✊🙏
Freakish BRILLIANT delivery and storyline! I too wish the Japanese Car Community here in the US represented in that manner. As a 45 year old JDM gear head I am unable to truly enjoy the culture for so many reasons, but mainly, the Japanese car culture has bad rep! Way to go Larry keep up the amazing stories!
I went to Phuket many years ago and their car scene is a smaller version of Bangkok's. Lots of cool RHD cars there, and the owners are chill and proud. No street takeovers and burning Infinits as far as I've seen.
This much car customization enthusiasm across the board makes me want to MOVE THERE. That many cool ppl, and I'd probably be "a higher income" citizen.
This actually makes me want to move to Thailand. I have a 300zx and 370z and it’s a living nightmare for an enthusiast to enjoy these cars in the UK and Europe.
16:39 I just got the best timed ad ever. It synced up with the music perfectly. I thought it was a sponsor or something at first because of how well it linked up.
I'm am raised in Thailand. Trust me, we love JDM because they're cheap POWAH. If you go to the other provinces like Korat, modified pick-up trucks (กระบะซิ่ง) are more popular than regular coupés in Bangkok.
considering these cars cost multiple fortunes, you will see that the working class almost exclusively race diesel trucks, low tax(all cases for single and 1 ½ cabs, one exclusion for 4door, isuzu dominate this section because low displacement engine), low entry bar, cheap fuel, just generally not liked since most people in the culture are unsavoury
I like the Hagerty website, but I’m in rage that I had to be told how to comment… Bullshit. This is why we can’t be like Thailand I guess I would love to know more about the guy with the loose Lugnuts infotainment system or whatever that was. Also, Larry Chen doing videos for Hagerty has got to be one of the top 10 RUclips things I’ve seen this year
I'm assuming the Indian movie he talks about is GOAT, which released recently and has a whole chase sequence where the taxi drifts through Pattaya while getting shot at by mercenaries in SUVs. Kinda cool to make a random connection to a Movie I recently watched.
Wait until you see overloaded trucks transporting goods to places rocking their TE37s. Thailand has wide variety of vehicle modification, from small bikes, cars, trucks, vans, boats and even farm equipments. It's just so crazy how people are addicted into modifying anything with motor in them. What a wonderful country to experience!
For a reason why E30 and W123 are very cheap here, back on its time it has local assembly plant, and has a price around Japanese mid-size sedan (E30 is compact, W123 is bigger but it's very outdated due the long market lifespan in Thailand), so it's sold like a hot cake Imagine you got a brand new 3-series BMW for a price of Camry/Accord nowadays, and now it's impossible.
Great video bro. Good work. I’ve been living here 7years but living 3hrs south of bkk on the coast near Hua Hin I’m Building a few cars and hope to make it to some meets once I’ve finished building. Fd and a rx8 20b in the works. A rotary trike build planned Also. 😎
Back in the 80s there was a 6yr old trashed TA that had been owned by a Thai guy. He had put Christmas lights all over the place inside. It was the craziest and jankiest thing you’d ever seen. Total insanity. I can’t remember the outside but I’m sure it had fake plastic vents / decorations added everywhere. It’s good to see young Thai guys today doing somewhat tasteful mods.
Amazing, But there's diesel truck culture in Thailand that are quite unique as well. Hope you guys could do more in depth videdos of those community in the future.
