Earlier than that, too. A race had been planned for December 1939, but other things interrupted it. See:

"Bira also planned to organise a race in his homeland, Thailand, and the inaugural Bangkok Grand Prix was set to be held on the 10th of December 1939, but the war equally destroyed those plans."

 

 

 

Yeah, I think you are right - mine was just a guess, I remember the story now.  I have no interest in F1 at all, but I have been reading these posts for years on various places and I was interested by the story of Prince Bira and the continued saga of the proposal. Its nothing but a money grab now.

The Australian F1 Grand Prix is on a street circuit in Melbourne.  It is run very well, but causes a lot of issues for the locals - and it costs a bomb to run.  If the (nearly) civilized West has issues running this event successfully - I seriously doubt Thailands' ability to pull this off.
