Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The Chang International Circuit is the reason most motorsport fans know Buriram. Opened in 2014 next to the Chang Arena on the city's outskirts, the 4.554 km (3.5-mile) track with 12 corners has hosted the Thai MotoGP race since 2018. Since 2025, this race has opened the World Championship season, and the 2027 race will take place from March 5th to 7th. Wikipedia now lists the track as the Buriram International Circuit, but the signs and locals still refer to it as Chang.

On race weekends, the entire city revolves around the circuit: the grandstands are packed, the fan zones are overflowing, and every hotel room in the province is booked. It's best to book your flight and accommodation months in advance. Outside of race weekends, the circuit hosts national championships and track days. A visit to the circuit can easily be combined with a Buriram United match at the neighboring Chang Arena and a trip to the nearby, castle-like Buriram Castle.
