Two different sources are saying the following, so maybe correct:

December 16-18 Hua Hin Vintage Car Parade 2011 this is the ever popular Hua Hin Vintage car Parade returns to The Royal Resort with all it usual glamour and panache organized by Sofitel Centara Garnd Resort &Villas Hua Hin contact number 032-512 021


the 9th Hua Hin Vintage Car Parade 2011. The resort will team up with Hua Hin Hotelier’s Club and Vintage Car Club of Thailand with the support of Tourism Authority of Thailand and Hua Hin Municipality for this premier event, which will be held from 16th - 18th December 2011.

Great stuff!! I always seem to miss this, but this year we arrive on the 16th. Any chance of another HHAD meet up? I know it's just a wee while after the last one, but I haven't managed to get to one yet!!

Would love to meet up with a few members.

Good info, here is the thread from last year: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16487

It is worth taking a look at if you're in town that weekend.

Thanks for the info on the cars being at HH floating Market.
I hope when they say 'the cars' they mean most of them..HH Bike Show is a non-starter every year cos all the bikes are away on a run during the day..when they should be at the 'show'.
I'd better check the Sofitel grounds, then check MV. Before finally heading off to the floating Market.

Yes, I've been to have a look at the cars when they're at the Sofitel a couple of times over the years and what you have to appreciate is that this is a rally for the owners and not a show as such so the cars come and go as they please.
Having said that, if you catch them when they're mostly there, you can generally see some pretty rare vintage cars in pleasant surroundings and seeing as there's no entrance fee, you can't really complain if they're not all there.
