Kampon Tansachak Auto Museum: Part 2 of the Collection and the Mystery of Miss Universe

Hello everyone!

As promised in the previous post, where I started the story about the amazing collection of Kampon Tansachak cars in Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden, today I continue sharing photos and impressions of this open-air auto museum. If you missed the first part, be sure to check it out — there I showed half of the cars and told you about cats and retro gas stations. And now — the second portion of luxury and one mysterious find!

Among the shiny bodies and exclusive models, I noticed something unexpected — a photo with the inscription “Miss Universe 2018”. How did it end up in the car park? No idea, but it added a touch of glamour among the retro chic and tropical greenery! Maybe Kampon Tansachak sponsored the beauty contest that took place in Bangkok in 2018? Or does he just collect everything unusual? If you have any ideas, please share them in the comments — I'm genuinely curious about what this photo is doing among cars and cats!

The Campon collection includes more than 100 cars, from BMW and Lotus to Cadillac and Subaru, many of which look like unique specimens. To be honest, I'm not a big connoisseur of cars, and I couldn't even identify half of the models. But that doesn't make them any less impressive! Looking at them, I thought: why collect so many cars if they're just sitting in a hangar? After all, a car is made to race along the road, not to gather dust in a museum. Of course, seeing such a collection is cool, but I dream of being able to get behind the wheel of at least one of them. Can you imagine driving a Lotus or feeling the power of a Ford? That would be a hundred times cooler!

If there are car lovers among you, write in the comments what you know about the models from this collection! Maybe someone will recognize a rare specimen or tell the story of a Cadillac? It's a pity that the cars don't have description plates - I would love to read about their characteristics or history. Your knowledge will definitely make this post even more interesting!

I will tell you about Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden itself - a huge park with thousands of plants, sculptures and shows - in one of the following posts. There is so much there that it deserves a separate story. Thank you for reading my notes!

I write my texts myself, correct mistakes and translate via ChatGPT (which is not a violation on Hive)!
All photos were taken by me personally - I am a beginner photographer, so I ask professionals not to judge strictly.

Thank you for sharing these moments with me! Until new stories and new holidays!
