Vivek Oberoi has just returned to Mumbai after shooting for three weeks in Bangkok and Pattaya for Kumar Taurani's Prince after literally taking his staff for a ride!
Says Vivek, "I had an amazing times during my Bangkok shoot this time. We'd pack up every evening after 8 pm, completely exhausted. One day, I decided to surprise my make-up guy, valet and others to the RCA Plaza in Bangkok.
They were very tired and reluctant so I had to drag them there. RCA houses the PTT Speedway, one of the biggest and fastest indoor go-kart tracks in the world.
They started go-karting grudgingly but then became so addicted to it that they raced from 10 pm to 2 am closing time. Even then, they kept saying that they wanted to race more because they had so much fun."

Vivek's fun experiences didn't end there. They shot for two songs and one of them had sports and action in it.
Vivek says, "Kookie Gulati (director of Prince) insisted we have jet-skiing sequences in the song.
I have been jet-skiing for many years and it was great fun doing that in Pattaya. Action director Allan Amin has coordinated the action scenes."
The PTT SpeedWay
Situated at the RCA Plaza in Bangkok, the 7,000 sq mt-PTT SpeedWay is the world's biggest indoor go-kart racing track. It is Thailand's first indoor go-kart track and Asia's third.
An eight-minute race costs 390 Baht and includes racing equipments; helmets, racing suits, and go-karts.
