saw a big advertising poster near MV yesterday, looks like a few bands will be performing too, anyone know if they are any good?

I've seen posters around town today, but only briefly.

I'm sure they stated the date as 16 to 18th Dec, and the location was Amari. This information may be completely wrong, but it might be useful if somebody could either shoot me down, or advise that i read it correctly. Otherwise, people will miss it in 2 ways i.e. the date is 2 days earlier than previously advertised, and the location is different.

Apologies in advance if my eyesight has let me down, but as I said, I only saw the posters briefly - certainly not long enough to study them.

Cant you snap one with that fancy phone and upload it here so we can translate?

[Big Boy]

My car's in hospital until tomorrow. If nobody else has answered before I collect it at 3, I'll find a poster and take a photo.

Apologies for being so vague, but I thought it important enough to mention, just in case somebody misses it.

Kwanchai Paphatphong, President of Vintage Car Club of Thailand, said, “As decennary celebration of “Hua Hin Vintage Car Parade”, the Club together with Amari Hua Hin Hotel, Hua Hin Municipality and Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will conjure up a grand event with a parade of over 50 rare antique, classic and custom cars, worth some 300 million Baht altogether. Even more special, the general public will for the first time gain free admittance to participate in the specially arranged activities.

“The Club allies with Amari Hua Hin Hotel which has a venue that is ready to provide convenience and welcome large crowds of people including Thai and foreign tourists to completely enjoy the activities there. Vintage Car Festival 2012 will take place at the rear zone of the Hotel, featuring a concert by artists from SMALL ROOM – THE RICHMAN TOY, LOMOSONIC, THE YERS and Pang Nakarin, the ultimate old style rock legend. Plus retro market, etc. The concept of the event this year “WHETHER YOUNG OR OLD, VINTAGE IS IN OUR SOULS” is derived from the Club’s concern that vintage cars in our country are slowly disappearing over time due to the small numbers of both the cars and their collectors. Preservation of vintage cars should therefore no longer be regarded as a hobby only of well-to-do elderlies.

On the contrary, it should be a pastime that is also actively pursued by the younger generation, with varied tastes and restoration ideas, to ensure that valuable vintage cars have a new lease of life and the fine culture of preservation and restoration spreads to wider sections of society and continues endlessly into the future.

“The 10th Hua Hin Vintage Car Parade” will be the first promotion activity of vintage car preservation that welcomes the younger generation to participate without expenses, whether in displaying custom cars or enjoying Vintage Car Festival 2012. Simon Dell, General Manager of Amari Hua Hin Hotel, who jointly organized “The 10th Hua Hin Festival of Vintage Car Parade 2012”, says he is pleased to work with the Club.

Thanks Steve, so I wasn't seeing things. However, I see that although I got different dates, the dates I quoted were also wrong

The question now of course, is this the same show, or yet another show? One says classic, and the other says vintage, although I'm sure the posters I saw actually said 'classic' as well.

[Patcharapat Spa]

It would have been very interesting for everyone to know as to when what is happening.
Like what time the parade starts from where to where? How about the entertainment part?

unless the event is only for a selected few?

[a10ams]

It started tonight. I just left it. There's about 25 cars right now.

[usual suspect]

Where is the Amari hotel..??
