Thanks for coming to Thailand Larry, hope to see you back soon so you can finally get that ride in my S65 E30.

I second those closing remarks. Something like this in the US would be amazing. The respect, civility, and just good nature of this whole thing is so amazing.

Ever since Larry started this series, I thought to myself "Just wait until he sees Bangkok..."

Lived in Bangkok for 20 years i could set my watch to these guys every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday starting from 1am, its a 15 minute loop.

That ambulance was awesome! I initially completely missed the wheels 😂

I do appreciate Larry’s visit to Thailand. He was so true on many points. Cost of entry to this is so expensive compared to the other parts of the world. Next time you should spend some time with the people in the real motorsport world here. While these Hondas are cool as the footage, you should be aware that we as Thai locals do not appreciate their reckless behaviors on our streets of Thailand. Such actions have brought losses and disturbances to our communities. As you know our land is highly corrupted. Police couldn’t do much. As a car enthusiast myself, I would highly appreciate if you might shed some light on our real racing community. You know people here. Chad can point you to the right connections. We do amazing things here on the tracks too !

People need to keep in mind that most of the authentic parts, and all of the imported JDM cars have MASSIVE tariffs on them too. There's a LOT of money going around in this scene.

Yes a lot of Thai people may be earning $300-$400 a month but these people can't go anywhere near cars. All the people you see in the video with their cars are all upperclass, some may even be millionaires (in US Dollars too). Cars are expensive in Thailand, only second to Singapore. Anything with more than 200 hp from the factory is likely imported, and thus was subject to over 200% import tax when it was new. So while it is good that there is no enforcement, the downside of the high import tax is that the car scene is very boring for middle class people. It's either Civics or motorcycles. Pickup trucks are also popular as they're cheaper than cars, and really the only way for the middle class to access a RWD + manual platform. Only the truly wealthy can enjoy anything interesting.

My mind is blown man! The quality of some of the builds there is next level.

I don't usually comment on YT vids, but man, are these vids entertaining and well made. Damn.

These videos are always the best. It is awesome to see the car culture thriving in different countries, and how their scenes differ. It doesn't matter what kind of cars you are into - having a tight nit group to cruise with is the best thing ever. While some of the cars in this video are not my preferred "style" - it is awesome they are doing what they are doing and enjoying their builds. Nothing says "not a real enthusiast" like hating on someone else's taste/choice in cars/build just because it isn't what you like. Appreciate all builds/scenes that are quality and respectful.

I visited liberty walk while in Thailand and the owner and his son are the nicest guys ever! They showed me around all the cars in the shop and parked around outside.

Nothing beats Thai car culture

I honestly don’t get how people like these types of cars with massive body kits and wings but I still respect all parts of the car community

It's another of the most amazing things in Thailand. It's filmed in a gas station. Whatever branch of the light, it's filmed beautifully in every corner. 😅

GREAT VIDEO ABOUT THOSE COOL CARS ! people from Thailand have great hospitality and warm heart ! ❤❤ Love from USA guys ✌🏼

Thailand is seriously the best country on the planet.

What a great introduction to this culture

Generally nice and humble folk through and through.

My retirement dream has always been to get a few friends together and find a struggling/ mostly vacant downtown in a rural area, buy up all the downtown buildings and turn them into apparentments upstairs, garages downstairs then have a large building behind as a community garage because doing car stuff is always more fun with friends.

My first years in Thailand (1999-) there was no car culture at all. This has exploded in the last 5-10 years. Great for Thailand!

I love and respect the Thai car culture and car scene. I’m glad to be able to attend most of the major meets and events there. It’s worth the time and sacrifices I give to this community. I love Thailand! Krup 🙏🥰🤙

I watched a doco somewhere about Thailand's Ambulances. They are private contractors that actually take you to hospital. So naturally because it's their own vehicle they can dress them up with their own personality. Reason is because of how dense BK is, its hard for the normal ambulance to attend to call outs quickly. So like a Taxi system, they assign the jobs to these contractors.

Wait, no Thai diesel truck ? 😭

One of the best videos I’ve seen as a JDM lover here in the US

Good to see Chad and Larry Together. Cool Cars

I've was into import racing scene in the 1990s in California, but I moved on after the 90s after having a family. Seeing these cars now reminds me of back in the days. All the cars shown are my style, they are designed the way I would. Thanks for the vid, I will put Thailand into my vacation destination.

My home for 1/3 of my life. Covid took me away when I started making KZfaq videos showcasing car culture.

I Live here and Love it! I’m a California native driving a Twin Cam dual clutch automatic Hyundai Elantra!

That 5’ Gundam is AMAZING - Larry you’re a legend man. So glad I found your channel last year, I’ve watched almost every video since!

This much car customization enthusiasm across the board makes me want to MOVE THERE. That many cool ppl, and I'd probably be "a higher income" citizen.

LOL....the fire alarm beep.....🤣🤣🤣

It’s like living in Japan back in the 1960’s with the love and reverence for US car culture. Cool to see.

I love that white and purple civic

nice video, I envy Thailand's car culture

Screw billionaires is the Larry Chens lifestyle that I'm jealous about. Ability to meet so many great people around the world and experience their car cultures is just awesome.

They've got amazing taste in colors, liveries, wheels and especially tires!

Your videos bring the craziest amount of happiness to see the car culture from around the world. I've always been into jdm as a kid but never had a chance of owning a true jdm car till right before street take over in the US were becoming more of a threat to the real cars and coffee enthusiasts in the US. I've always had the dream of making videos of me working on my car and showing out but with covid around the corner around those times I kept the build a secret from the world. As mutch as I'd love to share with everyone what I have and my build I didn't want to get into a part of the culture I didn't want to be part of. Your videos show that it still exists. Even in crazy strick countries what everyone goes threw just to have the meet is amazing as the US takes it for granted.. one day ill follow in your footsteps and capture my view point of this amazing car enthusiasts world. BTW the build is on a 91 & 93 celica. And yea I have 2 of them now. Keep the videos coming. You don't know how much joy it brings to see enthusiasts culture in others perspectives

Let's go! Love these videos of capturing jdm car culture around the world

I went to Phuket many years ago and their car scene is a smaller version of Bangkok's. Lots of cool RHD cars there, and the owners are chill and proud. No street takeovers and burning Infinits as far as I've seen.

Appreciate your authenticity, keep being real

Thailand has the best car scene. Period

This actually makes me want to move to Thailand. I have a 300zx and 370z and it’s a living nightmare for an enthusiast to enjoy these cars in the UK and Europe.

Just amazing the JDM culture in Bangkok

Loved the car culture in Thailand. When we came home my camera roll was 100s of photos of dumped delivery trucks and taxis on TEs!

This was so chill. So many sweet rides, the car scene was never this cool around my parts.

Love this series!!!! Larry, you always come through!!

Thank for video Larry 🙏🏻🔥🖤

I don't know why, but the yellow RX at Smith's, with the Porsche headlights? I really like it. Liberty Walk is cool, but I will always love sleek, smooth cars that make you think "wait, is that a stock car, or custom?!" Definitely looking forward to more from Thailand and beyond.

I love larry because we get to see these random ass builds. Thank you Hagerty for doing a good job putting a proper host in position. A+++

That taxi was legit.

Thanks Larry!

Hi Larry , ur narration is so calm and meditative , still being so excited about these amazing cars .

I appreciate what you do for the car culture

That frankentaxi is just an insane amount of ingenuity.

I miss thailand, such a cool country!

Freakish BRILLIANT delivery and storyline! I too wish the Japanese Car Community here in the US represented in that manner. As a 45 year old JDM gear head I am unable to truly enjoy the culture for so many reasons, but mainly, the Japanese car culture has bad rep! Way to go Larry keep up the amazing stories!

16:39 I just got the best timed ad ever. It synced up with the music perfectly. I thought it was a sponsor or something at first because of how well it linked up.

Those Toyota vans are awesome. Lots of private ambulances and would probably sell huge in the US. I'm going to ship my 86 4Runner to Thailand when I go. I've never seen one there in all of my travels.

For a reason why E30 and W123 are very cheap here, back on its time it has local assembly plant, and has a price around Japanese mid-size sedan (E30 is compact, W123 is bigger but it's very outdated due the long market lifespan in Thailand), so it's sold like a hot cake Imagine you got a brand new 3-series BMW for a price of Camry/Accord nowadays, and now it's impossible.

2:36 for one sec they were absolutely perfect.😱

We need more documentary style youtubers

ดีใจจริง ๆ ที่วงการรถเมืองไทยเราเป็นที่รู้จักของต่างชาติ ❤

Thank you! I'm an old school OG, you need to get down here to Puerto Rico, the land of JDM Cars..

Now this is great content, not some boring drag race in the middle of nowhere. Music is fitting, too. Thanks, Larry Chen!

100 per cent agreed. I have 2 time micro cars , Han's Mazda Veilside and Subaru WRX STI . Will add more soon to my collections 😊

After watching this video now I kinda miss my 1993 civic SI hatchback 😀

Cant wait to drive my classic car from Singapore to Bangkok to witness these myself one day!!

Smith's garage is so good. It's a must see when visiting Bangkok

Some of the best automotive journalism. Period.

Awesome! Much love from Alaska ❤

I remember seeing that taxi on Larry Chen's channel. That was like almost 2 years ago.

I'm am raised in Thailand. Trust me, we love JDM because they're cheap POWAH. If you go to the other provinces like Korat, modified pick-up trucks (กระบะซิ่ง) are more popular than regular coupés in Bangkok.

Oh my the RX7’s 💙

Simply amazing!

Thaland is beautiful. Much love from the Philippines!

Wait until you see overloaded trucks transporting goods to places rocking their TE37s. Thailand has wide variety of vehicle modification, from small bikes, cars, trucks, vans, boats and even farm equipments. It's just so crazy how people are addicted into modifying anything with motor in them. What a wonderful country to experience!

If you come to Malaysia, try contact GK ( Galeri Kereta ). He covering car culture in Malaysia. Much love from Malaysia 💙❤️🤍💛🇲🇾🫰🏻

Although rare, we do have quite a few of these here. A lot of them are kinda more in rhe mornings. I can see the difference in it l

Incredibly cool! I think the ambulance was my favourite! Wow

Who is here after the Greatest of all time movie trailer? The drift corolla featured in the trailer and I came straight back to this video!

In the like 95-2002 time in the USA where I live, we used to have a car culture like this. We used to have meets, and everyone was respectful for the most part. Then F&F came out... and we started having a huge influx of spectators. Which started bringing the bad actors. Who would just rev non stop at the meets, or do burnouts. No places wanted us around anymore so it pretty much died. Today the high school kids young adults still meet up in some parking lots, but its more about the meet up, than the cars.. You might have 10 nice cars, a bunch of buckets and like 150 spectators hoping for a street race or a parking lot burnout/take over.

Your videos are amazing Larry ! Can't wait to see the next ones....

Thank you Larry.Hope you will be back again ❤soon

Ive been a big fan of the channel glad yall appreciate the culture here 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭the 300% tax definitely contributes to the culture being the way it is ❤️✊🙏

I like the Hagerty website, but I’m in rage that I had to be told how to comment… Bullshit. This is why we can’t be like Thailand I guess I would love to know more about the guy with the loose Lugnuts infotainment system or whatever that was. Also, Larry Chen doing videos for Hagerty has got to be one of the top 10 KZfaq things I’ve seen this year

That taxi is a awesome Frankenstein of a car

Great episode, and I am looking forward to the next one!!

Thailand really love tuning they tune everything with engines in it

I love Thailand ..thanks for this episode Larry!

Come to Kenya 🇰🇪 car culture is growing mad ❤

Great video as always Larry and Hagerty

Man! Those RX7s were clean asf!!!

I’m from Thailand and this is why there are no cops because the Thai government don’t know about this type of car culture

What a great video can’t wait for the next ep 👍

I loved this. Thank you so much.

There is plenty of lawlessness car culture here in California and the US. Good to see a different kind of lawlessness elsewhere and less degenerate.

As a guy from Africa who is always on KZfaq watching cars you guys are spoiled 😅

Something amazing! I hope no one will destroy it for them.

Amazing, But there's diesel truck culture in Thailand that are quite unique as well. Hope you guys could do more in depth videdos of those community in the future.
