NEW THAI YEAR; RECENT BIKES VISITING A COFFEE TRUCK

[2wheels]

2ND MAY 2024

Almost every day I sit beside an excellent Coffee Truck in Doi Saket (retirement is like that!),
observing the passing parade whilst sipping on an iced Americano.
It's a good chance to meet interesting locals and, sometimes, chat about the bikes they arrive on.
I will add pics here as I get them.
Sometimes I am unable to get adequate details about the bikes so I am hoping subscribers to RA will be able to
add accurate information and/or interesting anecdotes.
Anyway, here goes.

A rider on this Yamaha R15 arrived, saying he enjoys touring quickly on his bike!

And this gentleman on his RE 350 Meteor had made all of the racks and bar work on his bike.

Sorry to be nitpicking - but the Royal Enfield Meteor is a 350, isnt it?

Love your thread anyhow…

Oops.
Thank you Snakeboy.

Where is this coffee truck located? I live in Doi Saket also.

Hi Franki.

Here is said coffee truck and alongside it is a delightful kebab stand.
Next to the sports stadium on the road where the Tuesday market is held.
We are there most days from around 11am; just a group of 3-4 riders who like to chat (mostly about bikes)
over a nice coffee.
Our bikes are parked opposite the coffee truck alongside the grandstand.
You are welcome to join us.

I have no vested interest in the yellow coffee truck nor the kebab stand.
I merely indulge in what they sell!
As you are a local you probably know that the road is used solely for the day market every Tuesday.

I will be there Monday; hope to meet you.

Thanks for the info and coordinates. It's only within ten minutes from my house. I'll definitely stop by in the near future and do some tire kickings.

A Thai rider arrived on his little Honda CT125, which was one year old with only some 3,000 kms on the clock.
He loves it!
His helmet is inside the top box.
