Two Motorcycles Burn in No-Bath Trip on Highway 21
Two motorcycles from the 'Trip Nam Mai Aob' group caught fire on Highway 21 in Phetchabun province on November 14, one while refueling at a gas station and another on a mountain road. No injuries were reported in either incident. The large motorcycle convoy was also filmed riding dangerously, occupying full lanes and weaving through traffic.
The 'Trip Nam Mai Aob' motorcycle group gathered to tour the Lom Kao and Khao Kho districts of Phetchabun province on November 14-15, 2026. Footage posted by locals showed dozens of motorcycles leaving a red-light intersection in front of Nong Phai district, occupying full lanes and overtaking dangerously. In Bueng Sam Phan district, a Facebook user posted a clip with the caption 'Bueng Sam Phan starts now, Nam Mai Aob 69' showing flames engulfing one motorcycle on Highway 21 in front of a gas station. The rider had stopped to refuel using a petrol bottle and was pouring fuel into the tank when heat from the exhaust pipe likely ignited the fuel. Fortunately, no one was injured. A second video showed another motorcycle burning on the road up Phu Thap Boek; the cause remains unclear but again no injuries occurred. Meanwhile, Highway 21 was packed with a continuous stream of motorcycles and support vehicles from the Trip Nam Mai Aob group.
