Went a few weeks ago with some friends, really fun and challenging cicuit - no run offs here so a little dangerous.

We had a race prepared Civic for pasenger laps, Vios with alittle more hp than standard and decent suspension and a New City with a supercharger, race spec suspension and a few other mods.

Best bit of fun I have had in ages!

Its only 45 minsfrom HUa HIn, guess 20 mins from where you are Its easy to find if Mrs Fach goes, just past the golf course.

Looks like a blast, would love to get up there for a day. Do they have a website that shows up and coming events and races?

A few biker friends have done trackdays and they say its very challenging, and for the bikers even more dangerous cause of the small run offs (well non actually!). I expect there are some pretty hairy crashes when they race at KK, 3 into a corner with no where to go sounds exciting. Looking forward to the next outing!

Is that first picture a practice session, a race, an open track day or what? I see no corner workers or flagmen. Most tracks remove heavy stationary objects, this one has 5 trees and what appears to be a shade pavillion (from the palm trees, look up from the red car) with cars parked in the infield. What the..? No energy absorbing barriers, but I didn't expect to see them. Instead they have berms which will launch a car into the air. Should be fun to watch.

I think the first pic was taken as the thing was being built, it certainly looks different today from other pics.

DIRECTIONS PLEASE--How do you get there from HH

[JW]

Best way to get there is with a Thai to guide and ask directions! As I remeber you basically go past the golf course entrance and turn left after abut 2 km. If there isracing on it will be easy to find, just open the window!
Cant wait for our next blast around!

I know about 20 golf courses which one is this.
All I know is that it is north of Hua Hin--how far--where do you turn
