Start Your Engines: Although this is a tuning shop specializing in wrapping exotic cars in vinyl, they really are a “society.” Their slogan, “exclusive wrapping and entertainment” hints to the close knit relationships of all the customers and shop employees. For starters, the shop might feel more like a nightclub than a tuning garage, with its neon lights and a fully operational bar, but behind the scenes, cars get wrapped in a clean room so not one speck of dirt touches the vehicle. After-sales service comes in the form of track days and car themed parties. Wrap Society even threw a major party at Demo. On the driving side, they’ve rented out Khao Yai’s Bonanza track for the societies’ members.

Pit-stop: The company is owned by a young, entrepreneurial ABAC student who is always up on the latest trends and consistently coming up with new, fresh ideas. His shop really strikes a chord with the hip crowd, and many of the super cars you’ll see lining Soi Thong Lor have been through Wrap Society’s doors. You dont have to get your car wrapped to hangout here either; events are open to anyone with a love of all things 4-wheeled. Wrapping a smaller sized car starts out at B30,000 but can go over B50,000 depending on size and material quality—compared to a full paint job, it’s still quite a bargain. The shop also can import body modifications, exhausts, or any tuning product. In the near future, they will launch a service that restores vintage automobiles as well.

Final Lap: Hanging out with Wrap Society means access to a large network of rich Thong Lor-going kids who are as much about style as they are about driving.
