Speaking to Nicke last night and a few of us have decided to go Go Karting tomorrow at 3pm.

If anyone fancies it we will be meeting in Soi Sansabai at Summer Breeze Hotel at 3pm....

Should be good fun if a few of us turn up!!!!!!!

Hope to see you there!

Si.

I was all up for this on Thursday night but right now I'm still not feeling to good. I blame Nicke that guy just kept buying me shots. Anyway thanks for a good night at the MTB will be there again tonight.

I might treck over myself, is it the one just over the hill from Patong on the way to Kathu? Not that I know of any other Go Karting place but I think there is another one somewhere.

We go for the fast carts, so the track on the left side coming from Patong.

They were re-surfacing that track last time I was there.
Will be interested to hear, what it's like now.

Nautilus · #10 01-09-2007, 14:55

How much do you pay for the fast carts? The 2 Stroke ones? Or is 4 stroke?

dennisinkamala · #11 01-09-2007, 16:14

Saw you guys leave whilst repairing my body from a night at MTB, hells bells et al. No way can I have my bones shaken on track today. Blame dodger whose claim to fame is assisting visiting farangs to drop their standards by pumping them full of alcohol. Thats my excuse.

Nicke · #12 01-09-2007, 19:48

Good fun, Sarsbuk have some photos he will post later.

Easyrider were right, the track is newly re-surfaced and its longer than before and also widened I think.

landofsmiles · #13 01-09-2007, 20:03

Next time you're going post it up.

Presumably the lightest one won today?

Gecko · #14 01-09-2007, 20:28

Was good fun today, the karts are really fast and the track very long. 800 Baht and well worth it for 10 mins but I think we were out for a fair bit longer than that. 4 of us in total.

I was lapped a few times today which wasn't funny!! And to rub salt into the wound it was Nicke, and he trashed me at golf earlier in the week. Enjoy your winning streak while it lasts Nicke because the tables WILL turn!!!

Sarsbuk lapped me once or twice I think.

Have a good onward trip gents and nice to meet you both.

isn't there another cart track on right coming from patong? next to a buggy track.

so these are faster?

Nicke · #16 04-09-2007, 04:16

Yes, on the right side is the original Patong Speedway, but they dont have any 100 or 125cc karts for rent, for safety reasons. Thats a good policy thought. But I want fast ones myself. But I think beginners or families is better off to the right track.

i want the fast ones now!

other track is ok, not enough speed though.
get away with alot of crashing on it, and carts are solid out... but im NOT as i found out, broke tailbone and had a swollen black and blue bum for weeks. hit tyres head on...
