Tickets
We do not sell tickets. The official MotoGP ticket page said on 6 November 2026 that sales had not started and offered a sign-up to be notified. Resellers already offer packages: compare with the official price as soon as it opens and avoid payments without protection. Session times are not published in the sources we read.
From Bangkok to Buriram
- Train: the SRT's Northeastern Line links Bangkok to Buriram. Sources give between 5 and 7 hours depending on the train, and disagree on the departure station: long-distance trains leave from Krung Thep Aphiwat, slow trains from Hua Lamphong. Check the timetable and the station on the SRT website before buying.
- Bus: one guide mentions long-distance coaches from the Mo Chit terminal; confirm on the operator's website.
- Plane: some sources mention a flight of about one hour between Don Mueang airport and Buriram airport. We could not confirm airlines or times: check before booking. From Don Mueang, see Don Mueang airport to the centre.
- To reach the station or the airport within the city: BTS or MRT.
Sleeping in Buriram
Sleep in Buriram from Thursday 4 or Friday 5 March to Monday 8: a day return from Bangkok is not realistic with a train of several hours. Book as soon as your dates are fixed, and check on the map how far the hotel is from the circuit; we have no reliable local transport data, so ask the hotel how to reach the circuit.
Before or after, in Bangkok
- Landing late in Bangkok before the train? A private transfer from Suvarnabhumi Airport takes you to your hotel; compare in our transfer guide.
- A day in Bangkok before leaving: what to do in Bangkok in March.
- Other dates in the year: Bangkok's major events.
