Bangkok motorshow

In South East Asia the best motorshow is held in Bangkok, Thailand. There are 2 motorshows each year in Thailand, one in end of March till early April and the second in early December. Each show promises interesting new concept cars and new models that will hit Thailand streets before Malaysia and other ASEAN countries.
Being the Detroit of Asia, Bangkok Motorshow displays upcoming models that will soon hit the streets in neighbouring countries and also host of many other accessories and parts. There are also the famous Bangkok Motorshow models which attracts photographers from all ages.
 
In the most recent show, which ended last Sunday showed several new models that we are likely to see in within the next 6 months. The models are: Toyota Camry, Chevrolet Trailblazer, Isuzu D-Max, Ford Ranger, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Mirage, new Mercedes B Class and Ford Focus.
All these models are ASEAN bound and the variations will only be slight as 90%+ of the cars displayed will retain the same specifications.

In contrast to the motorshows in Malaysia and Singapore, both are nowhere near as interesting. Singapore motorshow is now considered a complete waste of time visiting because many car companies have boycott the event, plus the models on display can be seen for free in car showrooms. Why pay money to see cars you can see in the showroom for free? In Malaysia, similarly BMW and Mercedes Benz have boycott the KL Motorshow which only takes place once in 3 years. Without a strong draw card such as concept cars that are still in the middle stage of development or new technology showcases, no one really wants to pay money to see cars that you can see in showrooms for free.There is no point in having a motorshow to display cars that are displayed at car showrooms. Having such motorshows will eventually lead to the decline in popularity and the death of the event.

The Bangkok Motorshow may not be the biggest in Asia (the biggest in Asia is in Japan), but it has been consistently displaying new concepts which have a high probably of introduction in the near future. People want to see whats new and what is likely to hit the streets soon. People also want to see new technological showcases to understand the development of new technology that could benefit them one day.
