Coremouse Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Did a lot diy repairs to my daily grocery getter, now wanna push her see how she performs, no way do that on Bangkok streets -- tuesday I go road test at 1 AM still encounter traffic jam XD Google map "car race track" within 2hr driving from Bangkok, showed up: Pathumthani speedway (Pathumthani) Thailand circuit (Bang Phra) BIRA (Pattaya) Kaeng Krachan circuit (Phetchaburi) Anyone have experience with them (or any other missed by google)? Consider entry cost (only BIRA listed hire fee 3000THB); circuit condition; whether crowded (more empty the better!); which is best for a budget car enthusiast? Any input would be appreciated. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMSIII Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Maybe it's worth going to Buriram spend the night and do the big new track, Chang International... Here in the states I always spend the night before, so I have a good nights sleep before having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grusa Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I fly over BIra often. The kart circuit is busy, the car track usually empty. Looks in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Lin Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 What kind of track are you looking for? Pathumthani is largely a drag strip, they do have a small road course that's primarily used for drifting. For road course, Chang in Buriram is definitely the nicest in the country, it's truly world class and meets FIA Grade One regs. For reasonably close to BKK and road course focus, BIRA is probably the best choice. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coremouse Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 A late update, I went to Kaeng Krachang circuit(Phetchaburi) although track surface has some marks but totally fine, and very easy/fun circuit setup charged me 2000 baht, with free helmet, all track to my self, absolutely love it, but silly me I broke the old clutch after several practicing laps???? fortunately have prepared one uprated set, send to repair in nearby garage... Also learned the toyota pancake oil 'cooler' is actually acting like oil warmer + coolant warmer, have to sort that out, so no more track day for now! Any car have to be real beefy and reliable to enjoy track activity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
