  • Finding this very unique hidden car cafe in Bangkok was a total surprise. I have not seen any other English speakers visit this hidden cafe on UA-cam, and it certainly reveals some unique surprises. I decided to go check it out and boy, am I glad I did. Nestled just 45 minutes west of the center of Bangkok, this cafe has it all, coffee, food, VW and Porsche cars on display, children's play area, as well as a full restoration shop for vintage Volkswagen and Porsche cars. Did I mention it also has an amazing mid century decor and a vast toy collection? I had no idea this place even existed and I am excited to share this hidden cafe and all of its automotive wonders. Join me as I give you a full tour of the cafe, the kids play areas, the various collector cars scattered throughout the property, as well as the Porsche and VW restoration and repair shops.

    Hi Serg, just curious as to how you find places like this? A friend’s suggestion? Throwing a dart at a map? My wife has lived here most of her life and hasn’t seen half the places you have 😂

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  2 місяці тому +3

      It’s just a lot of scrolling through Google maps and doing keyword searches on Google. I have no idea how I found this place. It’s been on my Google Maps for a year, and just last week I looked at it again and decided to go check it out. It’s such a huge city, there is no way anyone, even someone living here for a long time, could discover it all. I probably only scratched about 2% of the surface over the past two years that I’ve lived here.

    That is a 23 window VW, and it can go for over 300K in states now depending on year. If you count the little fold out windows on the driver and passenger side they have 25 windows but I am guessing those were not counted as they only list 23. Very nice example. I like that Daihatsu mini bus

    That Land Rover is a series 2 A , it still has the low centre dash but had key start, first with key start on centre dash consul, The series 2A was the first model to have the head lights mounted in the mud guards, Serries 3 had head lights mounted in the mud guards, had a high dash board made of plastic , consul for Speedo fuel temp etc was mounted in front of steering wheel directly in driver view ,
    Series 3 also had a new style grill made from plastic, I have owned 15 different Land Rovers in my life from series 1 to series 3 , Great informitive video thanks for sharing, I must pay a visit to this amazing place.

    • @LifewithSerg
      @LifewithSerg  2 місяці тому +2

      Personally, I just rode my own motorbike all the way from my condo. I did not take MRT or a motorbike taxi. I’m just telling you the easiest way to get there. It is a calm place, but you can just use any of the right healing apps, like Grab to catch a bike back. Very simple. I think the ride from the MRT to this location will cost you around ฿60.
