In this thrilling episode, Hagerty delves into the wild world of Thai car culture, a realm where chaos reigns supreme, reminiscent of Japan but with a rebellious twist. The team immerses themselves in the underground scene, meeting with conjo Racers in Bangkok who draw inspiration from the legendary Honda Street Racers of Osaka. These racers, with their unique liveries and brand-based designs, take to the streets with a passion unmatched, embodying the essence of automotive rebellion.

Venturing further into the heart of Thai car enthusiasm, Hagerty uncovers a deep-seated love for JDM cars and Japanese culture. From a JDM collection hidden within an apartment building to the jaw-dropping builds of local enthusiasts like Beer, who opts for building JDM Legacy cars over owning million-dollar supercars, the dedication to the craft is palpable. Liberty Walk Thailand, a pioneering tuning brand, showcases mind-bending car transformations that push the boundaries of creativity and engineering.

The team's journey culminates in a JDM night meet at Smith's Garage, a vibrant hub where car and motorcycle enthusiasts converge to celebrate their shared passion. Amidst the vintage gas station setting and old plane hangars, the spirit of automotive culture thrives, fueled by a deep-rooted appreciation for all things JDM. As Hagerty bids farewell to Thailand, the promise of further exploration looms large, with countless untold stories waiting to be unraveled in the next exciting chapter of their car culture odyssey.
