BMW touring and off-road equipped big bike. They had a lot of these, more than 20 and clearly some partnership with the main BMW Motorad importer.
All bikes looked in absolute tip-top condition, fully detailed (clean and immaculate), maintained, obviously a company fastidious about taking care of the equipment for the next riders.
There is a very USA style diner next door, like something right out of the movies it has all the comfy booths, milkshakes, hotdogs, burgers and more. I have eaten here, it is a fully authentic American dining experience and reasonably priced.
This ... what a blast this looks!
They look to have car engine and auto-transmission attached to the rear, perhaps rear wheel drive with the engine out the back is more than enough for going off-road, these will be a lot of fun on the loose stuff!
The buggy got my curiosity the most, it's a total skeleton car like an Ariel Atom or something, but more home-made! Seriously tough welding, extra thick steel exo-skeleton and roll cage for safety, pro-level off-road suspension components and more.
Stick it in 'D' and floor it!
Staring into the open abyss of the rear-engine bay, flanked by a steel air-intake going to the roof, (bring a snorkel for yourself also, it can go underwater ...
battery upfront for weight distribution one would assume!

I was passing this shop the other day, so I asked if I could take a look around. This is what was inside. Off Road Safari Pattaya offer several types of tours with various modes of transport, including trial bikes and buggies. In the covered area were many big BMW adventure bikes used for longer adventure tours they offer. All details are published on their website, link below. For today, just wanted to check out the machinery. I really want to take out one of those buggies for a half day also soon!
Located near Lake Maprachan, Pattaya there is access to a great deal of off-road dirt trails which are open to the public, provided you know where you are going. Inland opens to vast tapioca, coconut, rubber plantations, jungle, more fields etc which are all accessible only by dirt roads, often thick with sand so not even a normal road car can make it. However, if you have an off-road buggy or motorcycle, then it's a different story. One filled with wild drifts, challenging road sections, adrenaline and awe-inspiring wilderness and countryside views. There are literally hundreds if not a thousand miles of these trails around the province of Chonburi alone - I don't think anyone knows the exact number, some are even ancient roads from another civilization and empires, from times when folks would travel across the lands through thick jungle trails instead of modern day coastal hugging highways, roads lost in the annuls of history!!
Roads, where we're going, we don't need no roads! I especially liked the buggies, did I mention that?
