Thanks for putting this up, Ray23.

However, the thread title is "KK Bike WEEK" yet only one day is mentioned. Do you know if there's anything planned for the other 6 days of the week? Is this Saturday event at the start or end of the week? I saw no publicity for the event when I went into KK last weekend and, if not for your post, I and many others might have been completely ignorant of the event.

ray23, do you plan to update this with the events during the week, or is it only organized for the first day on Saturday?

Thanks!

As Ray said in the first post, it is scheduled for Saturday 3rd September. He has also posted the timetable of events, which will all be completed on Saturday. The BIKE WEEK teminology is common throughout Thailand for this type of event, which is often just one day, sometimes two days, but rarely anything going on for a week. TIT.
The event was scheduled for mid November, but has been brought forward and organised at short notice, to fall before the retirement of a senior Division 4, (KK and surrounding provinces), Police officer. He has provided the venue, which is in the Police School Training Ground, near the KK immigration office, on No 2 Highway, just North of the University entrance traffic lights. He also has provided further sponsorship. Due to the short notice, manufacturers such as Yamaha, and Kawasaki are unlikely to be able to attend, but all other activities will be similar to the previous 3 KK bike weeks.
I am intending to ride down from Chiang Mai with a few friends to attend.

Well that is great! A party to welcome me moving to Khon Kaen, I love it!
Although I will be busy I hope to leave the moving-mess the mess and attend the 3rd.

P.s. When a Thai "motorbike week" is translated to English for us stupid people who can still not read Thai after 10years (myself included) probably is meant "Motorbike Weekend" which is indeed 1 or 2 days.

We're still considering going to this one. We'll definitely be in KK this weekend as I need to service my bike. Does anyone have GPS cordinates for the KK Bike Week? TIA

Sorry no GPS coordinates but it is will be same site as Khon Kaen Immigration office. Its a big site, but will be well signposted. The entrance will be on No 2 highway, (The main Khorat to Udon highway), Coming from Udon, it will be on your left,North side of the town, a couple of hundred metres before the traffics lights at the University gates. These are the first traffic lights you meet coming into KK, just before the road starts to go downhill past the main hospital etc.
Coming from town, you go North on No 2 highway, passing the Queen Sirikit Heart Centre and the main University and Goverment hospital, straight on at the traffic lights by the University gate and then pulling to the RH lane, look immediately for the signs to turn right into the bike week venue

Thanks for the directions! Still considering whether to go or not. Seems strange that they charge 200 baht. I've been to a bunch of Bike Weeks of all sizes and they have never charged for admission.

The charge is made only for entering the entertainment area in the evening, usually from about 6pm. The various events during the day are free to attend.
The charge is made to cover the cost of putting on the event, there will be some free beer, free food and a nationally known group. The event has made the same charge each year, as has Udon bike week, CM bike week etc. Any surplus after the event is used to make contributions and gifts to local schools or orphanages, as you will see on the charity ride on the Saturday.
