Racing Bangkok's Turbo Longtail Riverboats

Welcome back to another Thailand travel vlog! I'm back in Bangkok and today I'm going to take you on a wild ride with the famous turbo long tail Thai river boats. These fast boats are known for reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h and they're definitely not for the faint of heart.
I got the opportunity to go for a ride in one of these turbo long boats and it was an experience like no other. The powerful engine, the rush of wind in your face, and the excitement of river boat racing, all came together to create an unforgettable memory. I was a bit nervous at first, but once I got on that boat, I was hooked!
River boat racing is a popular sport in Thailand and these turbo long boats are the stars of the show. With the race always on, it's not just about reaching the finish line first but about putting on a spectacular show for the crowds. It's a mix of drag racing and a boat race, with the boats manoeuvring around each other at breakneck speeds. I was amazed by the skill of the drivers, especially considering the dangers that come with high speed water racing. Despite the occasional accident, it's a thrill that keeps people coming back for more.
If you're ever in Bangkok, I highly recommend taking a ride in one of these turbo long boats, it's an experience you'll never forget! And if you like this video, please don't forget to subscribe and follow along on my adventures in Thailand!

WHO AM I? My name is Shota and I'm a traveler and van conversion enthusiast. When I was 19, I left Japan and spent nine years exploring different countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures. In the past three years, I've been sharing my adventures in Japan through my KZhead channel, showcasing the lesser-known sides of the country and vanlife travel experience. When I'm not busy converting vans and ex-Japanese police buses into campervans, I'm back on the road, traveling the world and sharing my journey with others. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to embrace the diversity and vastness of the world around them.
