Thai motorcoach with Michelin Men, Ultramen and many other bells and whistles

As we know, hobby groups are separated by members’ age. Young people have no borders, they don’t pretend to be serious and important, that’s why they can let themselves into cheap, funny, sometimes stupid activities. But aged men are forced b

y society to act differently. That’s why they like to spend time under big toys, like huge off-road cars or choppers, or supersports.

In Thailand big guys do styling of big motorcoaches. Of course, they do it in the best Asian traditions: bright colored, naive paintings on a body (ohh, my eyes!), various toys, lights, mirrors. Everything in big quantities. Look at the photos of an example we found near the Pattaya pier. It had:

Michelin men, carefully dressed in cowboy hats and scarfs

No-no-no, they aren’t aliens, they are Ultramen – very popular character of Japanese movie

Plenty of mirrors and blinkers. I’d say, too many…
