Road-tripping in the Tuscany of Thailand

A look at the popularity of Das Treffen in Thailand will quickly dispel the myth that America and Europe are spearheading the burgeoning global obsession with #Porsche. The young Bangkok #Porsche meetup is the brainchild of Sihabutr Xoomsai, the Executive Editor of GT #Porsche Thailand and Film Director of Triton Film, known to his friends simply as Tenn.

Following the third and most successful Das Treffen yet late last year, Tenn invited Stefan Bogner – the Munich-based photographer and founder of Curves – to join him on a road trip in northern Thailand with a group of like-minded enthusiasts in a bid to discover some of the world’s best driving roads and further understand the subtle nuances of Southeast Asia’s vibrant #Porsche community. #Porsche is a brand best enjoyed shared, after all – something Tenn has known ever since he was thrown the keys to a 964 as an impressionable child.

400km journey across mountainous hinterland

The invitation’s timing was apt for an altogether different reason, for it arrived just after the covers had been peeled off the new #Porsche 992 some 8,000 miles away in Los Angeles. What better time to reflect on the virtues of the timeless machines that preceded the eighth-generation 911?

Naturally, Bogner didn’t need asking twice and promptly headed to the start point in Nan. The two-day, circa-400km journey across northern Thailand’s mountainous hinterland would take him and the group westward towards Phayao, passing through Chiang Rai and finally ending in Chiang Mai, the former legs encompassing both the Doe Phu Ka and Phu Sang national parks.
