The 2020 Bangkok International Motor Show just concluded last week. Never a dull or slow moving motor show, the Bangkok International Motor Show has always delivered regional launches and a packed event with all major brands and some very interesting tuners in attendance.
In the age of the coronavirus pandemic, the mainstay auto shows that used to get all the attention like those in Geneva, Detroit and Frankfurt were cancelled or postponed, leaving smaller auto shows like those in Bangkok and Chengdu, to be the major automotive events in the foreseeable future. The country’s first large scale event since the pandemic saw nearly all attendees wearing masks and face shields. Thermal scans were placed at the entrance to the event hall and attendees were required to check-in using their mobile phones to help with contact tracing.
The success around the Bangkok motor show, which even during times of a global pandemic, can draw a million visitors is to be commended.
