In Thailand, many drivers open the hood after returning home to speed up engine bay cooling. This practice can extend the life of rubber and plastic parts, reduce battery heat, and deter rodents. However, it also poses risks: accidental injury, faster wear of hydraulic hood struts, and debris accumulation. Modern vehicles are designed for high temperatures, so opening the hood is not necessary but may be beneficial in a secure, enclosed space.
A caravan of 400 Honda Gold Wing motorcycles with 550 participants from 12 countries visited Trang province as part of a three-day tour.

The president of the Southern Hotel Association called it a positive signal for the region's tourism business, noting that such traveler groups have high spending and long stays.
