TITC 2010
 

13 entrants from Australia across all classes for TITC 2010 should be a blast.
Thought I would start this thread so everyone going can compare travel details/dates so we can meet up over in Thailand.
GRANT MOUNT and myself will be arriving on the 23 of Feb and leaving on the 2nd of March.

Not too long to go now, should be an awesome event, made better by mates going over.

I just hope the weather stays under control over there. The hot and steamy stuff gets overpowering.

I will be doing the family thing from the 13th, racing from around the 23rd, and flying out on 1st.

Seems like most of the Ozzies are staying in the Sukhumvit area, with the Dawin Hotel looking like a good option for accomodation. The official hotel is too far away for the nightlife.

Would be good to stay close so we can share cabs etc to the track.

going from 18/2 to 20/3 cant wait and no brad im not sharing a cab with you haha or my stuff might almost fall out the back of taxi like it nearly did at the worlds.

Does anybody have the address of the track or better still a goggle map location ?

I think the suburb is Lat Phrao, there is an address listed on the website www.titc.in.th

Access appears to be along the Chalong Expresway, straight down to Sukhumvit, google maps gives you a good idea of distances, however i cant locate the actual track on the satellite maps.

The Exact address is

5/55 moo 5 Praditmanootham 25
Ladprao, Ladprao Bangkok 10230
THAILAND

but that is not always helpful as the track is very new and not shown on the google maps but these are the Google co-ordinates:

13° 49' 16.15" North
100° 37' 28.20" East


As for when travelling, I will be in Bangkok from 12th Feb to 6 March and will be staying in the Sukhumvit area like most of the Aussies. And no I am not sharing a taxi with you two sumos .. I will use our car :D:D

My suggestion would be to print out a copy of the map on the TITC site and give it to a Thai Taxi driver and get him to take you there. Just make sure he understands what you want first.:nod::nod:

I can see it now Two teletubbies in the back of a Tuk Tuk...:lol::lol:

Later,

Calvin.

My self and Andrew

Leave Sydney the 19 and return the 2

was just talking to someone about starting
a tread today

As I was asking about traveling with rc gear
and customs

As I just purchased a bag that I thought
I could put all my gear in and carry on the
plane

Tool car tools charger power supply ect

what will I be able to carry and what should
I store away

Store clothes in rc bag, rc stuff in suit case, no risks there.

I have always carried the radio bag over shoulder onto plane, with a cheapie light carry on containing my car, chargers, and historically batteries (im thinking batts in suitcase inside lipo bag now).

In your suitcase, put all parts and tools inside cardboard kit boxes, i can fit 2 in my suitcase, then wrap the bodies in clothes etc.

Go through all your gear and have a good think about what you actually use at the track and what you dont, you will be shocked at the amount of fluff you carry around with you. The rest packs down pretty easy.
Remember no tools in your carry on or it will be taken.

Anyone else notice Grant Mounts entry?

Gold!!!!!!
I always had my doubts:lol::lol::lol:

:lol::lol:Truth revealed, well your going to the right place.

Not a good idea because it's still written in English not thai scribble, when I get over there Surikarn is gonna give me a price of paper with the address written in thai for taxis

Bradd is the expert at packing to go to Thailand. Only guy I have seen unpacking his bag in the middle of the airport terminal trying to get rid of excess stuff ... including jumpers ... for Thailand :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
