Welcome to the website of Nagas MC. This is a motorcycle
club which values and maintains its Thai roots; in fact the name of the Club actually relates to
the Naga, a mythical sea serpent long believed to be a spiritual protector of Thai speaking
cultures throughout Asia and found in many examples of Thai architecture, along roof gables and
corners from humble dwellings to the Royal Palace.
Our Club back patch is actually headed by a top rocker with
the Thai word for Naga in Thai script, and our logo is a bar and shield flanked by a pair of golden
Naga, which we are very proud of and which the Thais are very appreciative of.
The Club is a touring club which clocks up thousands of
kilometres per year, and as such membership is gained by riders with touring machines of a minimum
883cc. Membership is gained entirely by an applicant attending meetings with us, spending time with
us, riding with us and ultimately bonding with us.

The Club was formed in the seaside
town of Sri Racha, about 100 kilometres south of Bangkok on the east coast of the
Gulf of Thailand. Apart from being home to the now famous Nagas MC, Sri Racha also
boasts the famous spicy sauce "nam phrik sii rachaa" and some of Thailand's best
seafood, especially oysters. Initial club meetings were held in members homes and
then local seafood restaurants but we now have an "official" home the Phaiyanaak
Pub located on Soi Assumption in Sri Racha.

Originally formed by a nucleus of 5 local ex-pats the Club
has grown rapidly, both in size and reputation, and is now recognised and welcomed at motorcycle
events throughout Thailand. With a membership from as far and wide as Sweden, USA, Germany,
Finland, Denmark, Norway, New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Holland and Thailand, the Club shows a
comprehensive and united front wherever it goes. The Club is primarily a family club of
motorcyclists who want to meet, ride and socialise with other motorcyclists. "Family" is emphasised
because there have been so few MC clubs in Thailand which include wives and children: Nagas is a
club with strong family values and likes to have the wife on the pillion and the kids in a support
vehicle whenever and where-ever we tour. One of the cornerstones of the Club foundation is that our
wives are as much a part of the club as each rider and as such make up an important part of our
being.
The reason for our "being" is very simple: no-one else was
doing what we want to do, which is tour Thailand on large (mainly Harley-Davidson) touring machines
with our families and friends, for at minimum one long weekend every month, and party!
The Club meets on the first Friday of each month at the
Phaiyanaak Pub to discuss Club matters, up-coming events and tours, and to have a good social
evening together. Meetings are open (unless specified) and guests are welcome: This website will
furnish email and phone numbers for anyone wanting to come along and introduce
themselves. |
