About the MotoGP Grand Prix of Thailand

MotoGP is the top class of world motorcycle road racing. The official 2027 calendar lists the Grand Prix of Thailand as the first round of the season, followed by the Grand Prix of Qatar the next weekend. 2027 is also the first year of MotoGP's new 850cc era, which adds extra interest to the season opener.

A MotoGP weekend has practice and qualifying sessions, a Tissot Sprint on Saturday and the main Grand Prix on Sunday. The Sprint is a shorter race of half the Grand Prix distance with its own points and podium, and it is part of every round on the calendar.

Chang International Circuit in Buriram, in north-eastern Thailand, is a purpose-built racing circuit.

How to get to Buriram for MotoGP Thailand

Buriram has a small domestic airport, Buriram Airport (BFV), with flights from Bangkok. International travellers usually fly into Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) or Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) and then take a domestic flight, a train or a road transfer to Buriram.

Domestic flights to Buriram are limited and fill quickly on race weekend, so book early. Road transfers from Bangkok are long, so plan them carefully. Check the official entry requirements for Thailand for each traveller.

Where to stay

The best option is Buriram town and the area around the circuit. However, Buriram has limited hotel stock, and rooms sell out early for race weekend. Some groups stay in nearby provinces such as Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) or Surin and travel to the circuit each day.

Another option is to combine a few nights in Bangkok with a short stay in Buriram. Book hotels near Chang International Circuit as early as possible.

Planning a group trip to MotoGP Thailand

A group tour to MotoGP Thailand needs early planning because of limited flights and rooms. Tips for a MotoGP Thailand travel package:

• Tickets: sell MotoGP Thailand tickets only from the official MotoGP ticket site or official circuit channels. The official site says 2027 tickets are already on sale.
• Package content: flights to Bangkok, domestic flights or road transfers to Buriram, hotel nights, daily circuit transfers and race tickets.
• Extras: add a visit to the historic Phanom Rung temple area or time in Bangkok before or after the race.
• Two-race trips: the Qatar round is the following weekend, so some fans may want to combine both races.
