On a side note, we are not publishing AWOL next Friday for the same reason, as many of the venues we normally deliver to will be closed. Hua Hin Bike Week first took place in 2005, and has been coordinated and organised every year by Khun Aod, otherwise known as the leader of the Vampire MC group. The venue for many years was the large vacant plot of land along the canal road, but in recent years they have tended to stage it at this years venue, when available. For those unfamiliar with Hua Hin, head north on the Phetkasem Road from the centre of town, and take a right into soi 35 at the traffic lights beside the King’s Palace - this road bears left and then runs parallel to the sea and the location is further along, near to the Immigration office. Hua Hin has already seen the arrival of some groups of bikers this week, and the town will be full with mean looking leather clad groups, who are mostly some of the nicest people you could hope to meet, and everyone is welcome along to the events, which will include live music, competitions and lots of rare and customised machines. Registration costs 200 baht and T-shirts featuring this year’s promotional logo will be available for 300 baht. Much of the money raised is normally given to charities and other good causes. As always, please be careful on the roads as they will be busier than normal, and please give plenty of room to bikers.
