Microcars at the Jesada Technik Museum
Southeast Asia’s largest collection of microcars
While traveling through Thailand, we discovered the Jesada Technik Museum in a small town outside of Bangkok. Home to over 500 vehicles including double-decker buses, airplanes, helicopters and scooters, the museum’s most unique attraction is the vast collection of microcars. Also known as “bubble cars,” these refrigerator-sized automobiles were built small due to limitations in materials and resources in Europe following World War II. The retro and progressive designs of the 1950s microcars have become a model for the modern-day smart vehicle.
