Every big city has a sub-culture that only wakes up after the shops shut, and in Bangkok a fair chunk of it runs on four wheels. On September 6, 2026 that whole world lands at Terminal 21 Rama 3 for Bangkok Underground Riverside, the biggest meet the area sees all year.

The theme is 'The Fast Tokyo Drift' and the headline act is Beer Baiyoke and the Top Secret Team, rolling in with an RX-7 and a 180SX in Liberty Walk kits, the only pair of their kind in the country. Around them the rows fill with modified street machines and builds you hear well before you see.

Got a build you're proud of? Bring it down. The meet is open to anyone who wants to park up and show their own motor, so you're as much a part of the night as the crews on display.

Walk the tarmac and you find showcase motors across every style, DJs keeping things loud until 9pm and photo spots at each turn. The Chao Phraya sits right behind, so the whole lot glows under city lights once the sun drops. Bring a phone with room to spare.

Best bit? No tickets, you turn up and it costs nothing. 

Owners drive in from across the country for evenings like this, so you're in good company. See you on the tarmac, September 6, midday-9pm at Terminal 21 Rama 3.
