Travel To Sporting Events

[thaieagle67]

I am hoping to go to the Malaysian GP in March and wanted to know if anyone has tried to book travel to sporting events from within Thailand?

I have looked at many internet sites claiming to be the best but most are Europe or South African based, so the prices are daft! I can book tickets direct from the track but i would prefer to have an all in package (flights, hotel, etc) as there will be a group of us and the less hassle the better to enjoy the event.

Hi Thaieagle67

I went to the GP last year with tickets bought from the circuit, they will send them to you nearer the GP date or you can collect them at the circuit. It is fairly easy to arrange everything yourself as the country puts a lot of effort into making sure things run smoothly.

You can buy a 3 day rail pass with trains running exclusively for racegoers from KL to the circuit for Malay Ringgit 100. I stayed at the Hotel Equatorial, on Jalan Sultan Ismail, which is the place to be, 4 nights for 2 people cost GBP 135. Prices are hiked for the GP but a lot of UK tours operators stay there. It is also near the monotrain station which takes you to meet the

race train.

We had a Mercedes taxi from the airport to the hotel for a very modest cost and I have his tel No if reqd as he was so good we booked him for the return journey.

A word of warning, it is not like a european circuit where you can wander around most of the circuit, here you are restricted to the area of your grandstand.

PM me if you require further info.

Good luck & enjoy Hamiltons win.
