The final hints of winter in Thailand set the stage for an thrilling automotive present in Korat province, two and a half hours’ drive from Bangkok.
Held on the golf greens on the Rancho Charnvee Resort & Nation Membership Khao Yai, the 2025 Landed Present – the second of its sort since debuting final yr – exceeded all expectations.

Nonetheless, having no prior expertise organizing such an occasion, we had been uncertain methods to current our imaginative and prescient for the Landed Present to potential sponsors.

We made a easy presentation and approached our first potential sponsors, who signed up on the spot. Whereas that was nice, we hadn’t requested for a lot cash – we would have liked extra sponsors. This proved tough as most companies we talked to couldn’t image our grand imaginative and prescient for the present. The reply? Photographing one in every of our automobiles on the seventh gap and utilizing the pictures in our promotion.
