Just wanna share my trip story with Australian guy here.
My name is PAT, I live in Bangkok, Thailand.
On April 12th 2007. I got a chance to Chiengmai, northern part of Thailand,
to join SONGKRAN fastival, it's like water day. Actually it's Thailand's
traditional newyear.
I left one of my splitty in Chiengmai. This is the trip with him. It's my 1964 Graf bus.

I drove my graf to fix rear suspension a month ago.
My machanic guy forget to install reduction gear box
but he can run!
Actually I modify the rear suspension by replace the bug tranny
(freeway flyer) and drive shaft tube from '66 bug.
Also for the brake too.
He could run up to 140 Kms/Hr.

Swet all the trip.
Chiengmai is called "town of temple" There are over
2000 temples arround the town. You can see the lion
look alike (we call Singha) at the front of temple.
This is northern style temple. It's different from
Bangkok and others.
