11th Hua Hin Automobile Concours to Take Place 29 November - 1 December 2013

The 11th edition of the Hua Hin Automobile Concours 2013 will be held from 29 November to 1 December 2013.

The Hua Hin Automobile Concours features a fun-filled programme of activities and fine dining, most of which take place at Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin.

Over 50 hard to find classic cars will take place this year. Highlighted cars include a Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, displayed by Dr Prachin Eamlumnow. This was an exclusive model built in England during 1949-1955. The vehicle was a birthday present for Chao Phaya Ramakob upon his return to Thailand, hence its affectionate nickname, “Ramprapath”. Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom also used this majestic vehicle during her state visit to Thailand when she visited His Majesty King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit.

Another classic car at the event is a 1928 Packard 626, displayed by John Smith. The vehicle has not been shown anywhere else before.

A 1964 Corvette Stingray used in the movie “Stingray” will be displayed by Syam Sethaputra along with vehicles belonging to Poj Vitjittranon, Sawad Horrungrueng and Dr Surakiet Satienthai.

There will be music and dining at the end of the first day’s event which is Friday, 29 November at The Venezia and Majestic Creek Hua Hin, and a gala charity dinner that will take place at Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin on Saturday, 30 November 2013.

Other activities for philanthropists include releasing fishes and turtles at Chang Hua Man Royal Project, planting rubber trees at Khao Krapuk, donating 86 bicycles to four selected local schools in Prachuab Khiri Khan, as well as offering food in a traditional ceremony to 86 Buddhist monks.

Revenue generated from the event will be donated to the Chaipattana Foundation after deducting expenses. Initiated by His Majesty King Bhumibol, the Chaipattana Foundation is renowned for projects dedicated to improving the quality of life and self-reliance.
