Just drove upto the vehicle licencing office on the 36 highway.. Just opposite the turn off from Maprachan that takes you to the flyover.. Seemed to be erecting a stage and amps etc.. there were a few banners up but was driving to fast to read them.. Anyone got any info ?

Nothing going on in Maprachan but there was a fun event in Pluak Daeng that I lucked into:

Chonburi Thailand Motorcycle Rally (Part 1) link

Hooked up with the Friend Highway Motorcycle Club to attend a very fun rally in the tiny Chonburi town of Pluak Daeng (literally, Red Termite Village)

The Friend Highway Club mostly ride vintage Yamaha SRs. I'd never even heard of this bike until recently, but I'm now a BIG fan of these vintage 400cc single cylinder thumpers! Check 'em out:

Cafe Racer style, added chrome and tricked out suspension:

You can tell a lot of these guys get their custom pipes done by one master:
