BigBikeBKK Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The link to the biker bash via the biker week thread is helpful but doesn't say where the "The Makro, Khon Kaen,Thailand" is?Anyone got any ideas or knowledge? Help appreciated JK Hi JK, It's impossible to miss the Makro- if you're coming from the south it'll be on your right on Highway 2 as you head through town. http://www.khonkaenorchid.com/location.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hiya Jim, Pulled these GPS coordinates from the original KK thread: Decimal Long 102.81263 Lat 16.40120 DMS Long 102d 48m 45.6s Lat 16d 24m 4.1s See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 You can put them into google maps like this 16.40120,102.81263 and it will route it. looking at the sat map does not look like there is a lot there. aren't you tagging along with any of the Bangkok crew?

Travelmate Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 aren't you tagging along with any of the Bangkok crew? Believe it or not. Some of the Bangkok crew have to work. KK rides starts at 10am. Leave Bkk at 5am. Doable or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Go up the night before. what time do you finish work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelmate Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The night before! Ride all the way in the dark! No thanks. I usually finish around 6ish. Best to ride in daylight in Thailand. At least I have a slightly better chance of making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelmate Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 There is two of us considering this ride at the moment. Question is. Are the girls in KK worth getting up at 4am for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 You can put them into google maps like this 16.40120,102.81263 and it will route it. looking at the sat map does not look like there is a lot there. aren't you tagging along with any of the Bangkok crew? LOL- yeah, it'd appear the bike week will take place in a dirt lot... Dunno, those are the coordinates that I pulled from the other thread, but if memory serves me correctly the Makro is actually on the other side of Highway 2 (the east side).... Anyway- it's a Makro and it's on Highway 2 in KK so I can't imagine it'll be all that hard to find. I'm sure John will chime in to set us all straight. Happy Trails!

JimsKnight Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the databurst on this one. Believe it or not but I'm on a Hunter thompson-esque adventure complete with madcap accomplice right now and won't be coming in from the north or South! I'll be blasting in from the west, fresh from covering the mekhong river trail! I'm on a tight deadline. But I should be in town defo for the 21st! Don't grab the girls too early boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johngooding Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi folks, Got to see this one a bit late, its now 6.20am on Sat morning. Out at the show site all day yesterday till late. Coming from the South Makro is on the left side. 100m before Makro is the entrance to Patunam. Yes it was a dirt lot. It now has about 4 Rai of newly cast concrete on which everything is set up for a great day today. The KK girls are gorgeous and very friendly, as is my wife, but not so friendly if I go on any more about this subject, so will leave that to others. Hope to see many of you there today. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
