Probably The Most Awesome Car Place In The World!
Around a month ago I drove past an unusual car looking place and as a petrolhead myself, I straight away had to find out more about it. I started following them on social media’s and ever since I’ve been curious and so impressed that a concept like it exists in Thailand, which is where I’m from.
(So don’t expect my English to be perfect :-))
I work with cars daily, however, I wanted to do my first short car film about this place and with help from my brother and friends it was possible. We managed to get in touch with one of the owners and got permission to film all areas of the place!
HERE WE GO!!! LET THE CAR TALKS BEGIN!
The place is called 25G Bangkok and it’s been running for about 2 years…shame on me for not knowing it sooner! The concept behind the place, was established by a few car friends who wanted to create the ultimate car place, 1) where they could gather and hang out in car surroundings, 2) get their cars washed 3) display their cars in a showroom and 4) a secret place to store their cars in perfect conditions…(probably so their girlfriends don’t know when they buy new cars).
…25G BANGKOK WAS BORN…..
1. THE BAR & RESTAURANT ‘Blue Moon’
As a car fan, this is probably the coolest environment to hang out with your friends that I’ve ever seen. Wherever you look, you will see new gimmicks and a thousand car decorations. Imagine chilling and talking about cars next to for example this legendary S20 engine. You CTzens wouldn’t leave!
2. THE CAR WASH & DETAILING AREA
While you’re at the restaurant eating and having a coffee, you can get your car washed and cleaned to perfection by the professional staff, overlooked to every detail by the ‘car wash manager’. When I was there shooting, they prepared a 911 GT3 RS 4.0 for at least 2-3 hours! Afterwards it was put on a closed truck and send off to the owner!
3. THE SHOWROOM
As the owners and members of 25G have quite a collection of cars, they have created a showroom to display some of the them to the public. Every month they will rotate the selection and when I visited, it was only limited Porsche’s that I’ve never seen in Thailand! I was so stunned about the cars conditions…it looked like they had never left a showroom!
(Don’t ask me about the bikes)
4. THE CAR HOTEL
Probably the sickest part for me, was the ‘Car Hotel’. As we walked through a small ‘secret’ door in the restaurant, a large green warehouse appeared. The owner told me this area was only accessible for members.
He opened up the door and my jaws just dropped and couldn’t believe my own eyes….
A big 4 story car lifting system ranging from supercars to rare collectors cars…
As a member you can park your car(s) at the warehouse. You pay a monthly fee, for your car to be looked after and always to be in pristine condition. 25G makes sure there is no dust, the engine is started minimum 1 time pr. month and oil levels are perfect, in case of your arrival to pick up your car!
All number plates are kept secret, so you will never know or recognize your ‘car hotel neighbor’.
So….here’s my first short film about the ambience and environment of 25G Bangkok.
I hope you guys enjoy it and the subtitles make sense…Hopefully I can show you guys more about the car culture here in Thailand in the near future…
