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 600cc. 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 in the market square in the centre of Sri Racha
town.

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, England, USA, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Scotland 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.
