The whole event is great you get to have fun, experience and see a variety of bikes and allows you to meet alot of people from all over the world!

Hi Kirsty, if you have any more info on the event please post it - the organisers are a little backwards at coming forwards with info and updates!

Apparently there is a ride on Saturday also, any idea of the route and time? I'd like to join, will be a great photo opportunity (providing people know its happening!).

This event is normally held the weekend before. This gives all the riders from the south time to stop off in Hua Hin, have a good party and a rest then head off for a lazy trek to Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai holds the King's Run every year around the King's Birthday, this is the premier event for big bikes in Thailand and they hold many parties and have selected rides through the town and countryside. Literally thousands of bikes from all over Thailand, and the one event all bikers plan their trips around.

For some reason the Hua Hin event has been postponed for a week and this year clashes with the Chiang Mai event.

I can't see there being as many big bikes in Hua Hin this year.

Nothing like a bit of organisation, but sure there will be some bikes there as not everyone is able to go to Chiang Mai.

Sorry for the late reply but I have most of the answers to your questions!
I know that Hua Hin and Chiang Mai are on the same day but they are quite far away from one another and I am very confident many biker clubs will attend Hua Hin but as long as I have known Hua Hin bike it has always been in the first week of December.

Ladies vest - 170 Baht
T-shirt S,M,L - 250 Baht
T-shirts XL,XXL 300 Baht
Long shirt S - 300 Baht

Long shirt XL - 350 Baht
Long shirt XXL - 400 Baht

T-shirts are also on sale at the event of Hua Hin Bike Week 2008.

On Saturday 6th December there is a bike ride planned and yes I agree a perfect photo opportunity. All bikes will meet at 48 rai( Klon Road. After the traffic lights drive 1km and you will see all the other bikes at 3:00 PM We will drive together around Hua Hin with the final destination Wat Huaymongkol to pray to Buddha. Anyone and every religion welcome!. Both big bikes and classic bikes RIDE together. We will return at 5:00pm to prepare for the party.

Ticket to Hua Hin Bike Week 100 Baht. This money will be donated to students in Ratchaburi for new school equipment.

We look forward to seeing you there! I am soo excited!! :cheers: :thumb:

Vendor's stalls

Post by wenshidi »

Is it too late to get a vendor's pitch for this weekend's event?
Does anybody know who I should contact and how much it would cost?
