Since its early days, BMWMCTH has remained true to its founding principles โ€” promoting safe riding, responsible tourism, and social goodwill. Members regularly organize group rides, charity programs, and cultural exchange events that strengthen both camaraderie among riders and their connection to local communities.

Recognized Worldwide

BMWMCTH is officially recognized by the International Council of BMW Clubs, under BMW AG in Germany, as an Associate Member. This recognition grants the club full international rights and responsibilities, making it part of the global BMW family.

Commitment to Society and the Environment

Beyond the thrill of adventure, BMWMCTH places strong emphasis on social responsibility. The club regularly contributes to charitable causes โ€” from supporting underprivileged communities to donating equipment to public organizations. One of its signature initiatives, โ€œReturn the Forest to Mother with Fatherโ€™s Coffeeโ€, provides funding for reforestation through local coffee cultivation, helping villagers preserve natural ecosystems while earning sustainable income.

Promoting Safe and Responsible Riding

BMWMCTH actively promotes safe riding practices and responsible tourism throughout Thailand. Through rallies, workshops, and adventure events, the club encourages riders to explore the countryโ€™s scenic routes with respect for local communities and the environment.


With over four decades of heritage, BMW Motorcycle Club Thailand continues to embody the spirit of โ€œFreude am Fahrenโ€ โ€” Sheer Driving Pleasure โ€” while fostering friendship, adventure, and meaningful contribution to society.
