A Rare Glimpse into Automotive History

Among the treasures on display is the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing (1953), a car that commands attention with its distinctive gull-wing doors and unparalleled craftsmanship. Valued at up to 70 million baht, it stands as one of only three such models in Thailand. This rare gem will be the centerpiece of the exhibition, offering attendees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to admire its elegance up close.

Each vehicle in the exhibition tells a unique story, reflecting the passion and dedication of its owner. Visitors can engage directly with these enthusiasts, learning about the meticulous restoration processes and the rich histories behind each classic car. The exhibition runs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, February 8, 2025, inviting all to immerse themselves in this nostalgic celebration of automotive artistry.

Celebrating Philanthropy Through Fine Dining

As night falls, guests are invited to indulge in an exquisite buffet dinner on the hotel’s sea terrace. The evening promises a feast for both palate and senses, enhanced by live music and mesmerizing dance performances by orphans supported by the Human Help Network Foundation Thailand (HHNFT). Each ticket, priced at 1,500 baht per person, includes a generous donation of 500 baht to the foundation, ensuring that the evening’s festivities translate directly into tangible support for those in need.

The atmosphere is set to be both festive and moving, with every performance and dish crafted to honor the spirit of generosity that defines this event. Attendees will leave not only with memories of a splendid evening but also with the satisfaction of knowing they have contributed to a noble cause.

A Parade of Timeless Beauty

Sunday morning brings the grand spectacle of a classic car parade, winding through Pattaya’s scenic streets. Led by Pattaya City Police, this procession features a stunning array of vintage vehicles, each adding its own charm to the cityscape. Starting from the Asia Hotel Pattaya on Pratamnak Road, the parade travels along Pattaya Second Road to Dolphin Roundabout before returning via Pattaya Beach Road, culminating at the iconic Barrel House Pattaya.

This parade offers a dynamic showcase of automotive heritage, allowing spectators to witness the grace and power of these timeless machines in motion. It serves as a fitting finale to a weekend dedicated to preserving the legacy of classic cars while fostering community spirit and charitable efforts.
