notamember Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just spent an hour at Burapa BIKE week in South Pattaya I was disappointed that the event has been hijacked by kids on monkey bikes, boom boom trucks spewing out rave ''music'' and custom cars A usually great event has been ruined by obnoxious, spoiled kids pretending to be Gang Bangers Last time for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamember Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 my mate just texted me from there, he said its like an outdoor rave, the electronic music is blasting over everything, he said you can barely hear the live band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 At 3.20 I was sat on Pattaya beach as all the bikes; and some cars; came by. They looked like mostly young Thais. Should that be unusual in Thailand? Have they pushed away the older farangs in any way? Is it just the way things are these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman24 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 ha ha same here, what i cant understand is letting all the bikes in to the event, when there is a huge empty car park, people too lazy to walk round using motorbikes to look at the stalls, with the narrow roads it was mayhem this afternoon, i was disappointed as this is the land of a million scooters , i did not see one stall pandering to their needs (me being one) the builds on some of those chop bikes , bloody death traps, no front brake ? so what does a thai mot say, front brake, ? not have, ok pass. ?? i was going to pop back tonight but think i will prop up a bar somewhere else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the way things are these days? pushed older farangs away? not whilst on a cruise around town, highly unlikely however i expected to hear live rock music at the Burapa bike show as in previous years this year i could not hear it because of the house/rave music being blasted out over every thing else was i as an older farang pushed away? yes by electronic car alarm 'music' and bass that made me feel like i was having a heart attack add that to the Teen Thai Gangsta wannabes on monkey bikes confusing being rude with being tough and one hour was enough for me maybe get off your perch at the beach and go look so that you can comment on the subject with some authority?

Not according to Tommy off 103FM who was spouting his usual sycophantic ramblings about how great it was. He must have sore knees & be able to breathe through his nose. IMO broadcasters have a duty to tell some true some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
