“A big thank you to Thailand Domestic Market (THDM Elites), the team behind the bike. They helped me and led me to build a true modern Vanz Thai Scoot concept. They helped me get the parts I needed for this project, especially Jomil Calimlim and Niño Freddie Galang (PRIME), the president of THDM Elites, the one who helped me the most. Thank you to InsideRACING Magazine for this wonderful opportunity to be featured in your magazine,” said Noriel. Kreng Jai (also spelled Krengjai) is a distinctly Thai feature that can confuse visitors to Thailand. So, what is Kreng Jai? The direct translation is often given as “reverent heart” or “reverent heart” and usually interpreted as a consideration, but this is too simple because Kreng Jai is also a feeling. Kreng Jai means being aware of the feelings of others and showing courtesy, respect and consideration towards them. It is also associated with the Thai concept of not wanting to lose face; Showing Kreng Jai is a way for one person to help another save face. This is something that cannot be summed up in one word, and as with many aspects of Thai life, there are social rules and norms that govern how and when Kreng Jai is posted. Noriel said: “I chose this concept because I find it very interesting. I admire the way Thais make their mods very subtle, but with performance in mind. At first glance, you might think it`s stocks or ordinary, but if you look closely, it gets really fascinating. This is the beauty of the Thai concept.
I wanted to show that Filipinos can do it too. So what is Vanz? Vanz is basically legal/road racing bikes in Thai. It refers to the form of the legal race/speed/road. This one is divided into two, the classic Vanz and the modern Vanz. Classic refers to carb bikes and the modern refers to fi bikes. What makes the Vanz concept fascinating is that they are essentially road homologated road bikes. They may seem standard or ordinary, but if you take a closer look, they have high-performance parts and upgrades. It`s essentially an art of how Thais make these subtle improvements and execute them so cleanly and seamlessly.
At first glance, you might think that these are bearings and that they don`t have lighter parts. In street racing culture, they complement the façade like an ordinary bicycle. Chances are you`ll underestimate these bikes, but they`ll make you smoke within a quarter mile. I will recommend it to my cousins, they also like this kind of concept like yours The concept of Kreng Jai can also be frustrating for many tourists as it does not encourage Thais to express exactly what they think. Instead, they can give you the answer they think you want to hear, or if you ask a question, you can get the confusing answer: “It`s up to you.” It can be incredibly frustrating and no matter how long I live here, it`s something that can be difficult to reconcile my Western mindset. And it`s not just me, because Thai friends say that sometimes it frustrates them too! The key is to try not to show your frustration; Jai Yen Yen Na. Family is considered the basis of social life for most Thais. The concept of Thai family is often broad and inclusive, and although the nuclear family is the nucleus of the domestic unit, it can include extended family members or close neighbors or friends. Although Thailand allied with the Japanese during World War II, it became an ally of the United States in 1954, fighting alongside America during the Vietnam War.

Throughout Thailand, you will find small shrines where people offer food, burn incense and say a prayer. Keep in mind that this is just a very basic introduction to Thai culture and people. It cannot explain the diversity within Thai society and is in no way meant to stereotype all Thais you may meet! In Thailand, even Ronald McDonald offers the Wai gesture to greet people!

The Scoot has a wide range of top THDM spare parts and accessories, starting with It Salaya parts. These are not ordinary parts, they are in the upper ranks of Thai spare parts in terms of price, performance and durability. The team behind the Scoot spared no expense in building this project scoot, starting with the It Salaya titanium exhaust, titanium handle, It Salaya brake clamps, It Salaya master cylinder (front and rear), It Salaya center stand and It Salaya side stand. The Scoot also features premium Akanah carbon fiber body covers, radiator cover and crankcase cover. The braking system has been upgraded to a high-performance Brembo 4-piston caliper (front), 2-piston caliper (rear) and Brembo brake lever. The Scoot is equipped with a powerful Ohlins rear suspension and steering dampers. The Scoot has Arovera wheels, a Nathong seat, original Thai titanium screws and Active Fast Gas.
There is a high level of respect for parents and older adults in society, with many etiquette practices and general interactions revolving around respect for older adults. A sense of duty and responsibility towards the elderly is expected, and family members often have to follow the advice and wishes of their elders. Thai children are expected to take care of their parents at an advanced age. Often, the family home is passed on to the youngest daughter, and she returns home with her husband and family to take care of her parents. While these collectivist attitudes are gradually changing towards urbanization, people are still expected to fulfill their duty and respect the older people in society. Oh no! Too late for school!

In Thailand, family words are often used for other close community members and are used to show both closeness and respect. For example, it is common for Thais to use âphiâ before a person`s nickname when they are like an older brother or sister, and ânongâ to show affection for someone younger rather than the term âkhunâ (see greetings).
