Thailand Considers Bangkok’s Chatuchak for 2027 F1 Race

Thailand is eyeing Bangkok's Chatuchak area as a potential host for a Formula 1 race in 2027, with plans to transform Vibhavadi Rangsit Road into a 6-kilometer circuit weaving through three major parks. The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) is spearheading the effort, citing Chatuchak's unique allure over other proposed sites like U-Tapao Airport and Ratchadamnoen Avenue. The bid, to be presented to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) by January 2025, could draw 300,000 visitors and generate 12 billion baht. While logistical challenges remain, the proposal aims to boost Thailand's global status for hosting major events.
