Pattaya City, Bang Lamung District, Thailand
Yesterday I got a message saying that a vintage car parade would start at 9:00 AM.
No hesitation — I grabbed my son, my wife, jumped on the bike, and headed out right on time.
Of course, I took my camera with me… and even a tripod. Just in case.
When we arrived, the gates were closed.
A small crowd was already gathering outside, while behind the fence the car owners — together with their wives and kids — were calmly drinking champagne and taking photos with their cars. Very classy scene, honestly.
Security told us that everything would start in about an hour.
Fair enough. We decided not to stand in the heat and rode to the nearest café for some cold drinks.
At 9:50, we headed back.
And that’s when it happened.
The gates were open, the cars were already on the road, and the entire parade was leaving the area for the rally drive. We just stood there, completely stunned.
Top-level event organization 😅
At that point, there was nothing left to do. I pulled out my phone and started shooting photos of the cars as they passed by us on the street, one by one.
No tripod.
No camera.
No champagne.
Just vibes.
This is Thailand 😂
I write my texts myself, correct mistakes and translate via ChatGPT (which is not a violation on Hive)!
All photos were taken by me personally - I am a beginner photographer, so I ask professionals not to judge strictly.
Thank you for sharing these moments with me! Until new stories and new holidays! ✌️.
