I visited the Siam VW Festival 2014 in Bangkok Thailand on Saturday the 15th February.
The VW Show took place at The Wonder World Fun Park off Ramintra Road KM10 located in the Khan Na Yao district of Bangkok. I arrived very early at about 10:00. I think I was the first VW fan who paid 50 THB (about 1.50 USD) entrance.
Between 10:00 to 14:00 the clubs and retailers have prepared themselves. The Volkswagen Enthusiasts in Bangkok arrived in the afternoon, because of the heat. So when in Europe the “show” is over, in Bangkok it has just started.
The King of Thailand is a VW Enthusiast and at the Siam VW Festival were six of his classic VW presented. Early in the morning, the T1 and T2 VW buses of the King got polished very well. The boys did a very good job as you see at the first picture. I was glad to be so early here because the rarities of the king were not shut off and I was able to photograph and marvel as undisturbed.
The Siam VW Festival 2014 was superb! Below is a selection of 300 awesome pictures.
