“MOONEYES” is a USA-born brand founded by Mr. Dean Moon, who had a strong passion for photography and cars. In 1936, he set up a small car shop behind a café named MOON AUTOMOTIVE. His work in building cars and producing race car parts gained recognition over time, leading to the establishment of Mooneyes Moon Equipment Co. and MOON Garage in 1950. These ventures fully embraced the HOT ROD scene, paving the way for innovations and serving as a model for the custom car industry.
In 1987, following the passing of Mr. Dean Moon, the brand was taken over by his close Japanese friend, Mr. Shige Suganuma, along with Mr. Chico Kodama, who both admired MOONEYES and its legacy. They continued to manage MOONEYES USA and expanded the business to Japan under the name MOONEYES AREA 1, making it the second global location.
In 2016, the brand expanded to Thailand, thanks to Mr. Chakraphan Rungsukcharoen (Mark), a Thai MOONEYES fan who deeply admired and believed in the legendary brand. He gained the trust to establish MOONEYES as the third location globally, under the name MOONEYES SHOP BKK, situated at the Srinakarin Train Market in Bangkok.
MOONEYES organizes annual anniversary events to celebrate and thank its loyal fans and customers in Thailand for their continuous support and dedication to this unique culture.
