Safety first when the party rolls in
OREANDA-NEWS. In Thailand, having fun is part of life. To cater for the more mobile revellers, a growing number of “shing-shub tours” – party and karaoke buses – are plying the Thai roads. Now Scania brings more safety into these rolling nightclubs.
Based in Saraburi, 250 kilometers northeast of Bangkok, Prasert Kungnern and his “family” – as he calls the dedicated employees – have their headquarters. Out of respect for the recently deceased King Bhumibol Adulyadej, their fleet of extravagant party buses will keep a low profile for some months while being maintained.
High quality buses with a good record when it comes to drivability and safety is essential, when running party bus business, Prasert Kungnern, says.
Featuring large leather sofas, breathtaking sound systems, spectacular lighting, LCD TVs, bars, bathrooms and much more, these rolling nightclubs can be connected with each other to allow for up to 500 guests to simultaneously enjoy the same show, while being on the move in an eye-and ear-catching convoy of up to 10 buses.
Spectacular equipment
“Some of these buses are equipped with sound and lighting systems for one million baht (equivalent to €20,000)”, says Kungnern.
Prasert Kungnern and his family of relatives and employees have their headquarter in Saraburi, 250 kilometers northeast of Bangkok.
“This is a new, more modern and safe version of the traditional Thai party and karaoke buses. Our customers can rent them for any occasion. It could be anything from teenagers who prefer karaoke and a big wild party to older people who want folk songs and a more traditional celebration. What unites them all is a wish to have fun, relax and party. Especially during the New Year and spring. Many of our customers are private companies and governmental units who regularly entertain their employees,” explains Kungnern.
Describing his business, he carefully points out security is his very first concern. The Thai party bus industry has been hit by several serious accidents, particularly when driving during heavy rain.Safety comes first
In Thailand, bus operators are moving to become more professional in their approach to running their business. While cash flow is still one of the main concerns, total cost of ownership is more and more important.
