A lot of rubber is burned on the asphalt, when the great hordes of Thai bikers converge on Ayutthaya once a year
for the Cowboy and Indian party. No TAT (Tourist Authority of Thailand) in sight, to promote such an event – it
isn't geared as a show-off to tourists in bulk and also not a profit generator for anybody, just for the bikers
and their fans. Wheelies are performed here by the boys and girls on their steel horses, clad in black leather or
other outfits. The fun begins at sundown and involves a quarter of the city near the bus station, that is usually
dedicated to Karaoke-bars and Massage-parlors.



Riders came from near and far, big customized bikes are their trademark. Every new arrival is beeing greeted
with cheers and kisses from the Squaws and Cowgirls.



The prices to participate are unbelievably low, they really lure big bikers from a large radius on the roadmaps
to Ayutthaya for this event. The 300 Baht (under 10 US-$) inlude all night food and drinks. Alcoholic beverages
(firewater) are not excluded!:P

Yes it is, have been there three times already. Dates do change, though - but next year I'll hope to meet some forum buddies there
