About Bira Circuit

Bira International Circuit is Thailand's only internationally certified race track, set just off Highway 36 around 30 minutes south-east of Pattaya. It was named in memory of Prince Birabongse — "B. Bira" — the Thai racing driver who competed in early Formula One, and that motorsport heritage still defines the place.

The site combines a 2.4 km circuit used for both car and motorcycle racing with a separate go-kart track that holds CIK-FIA approval, the international standard for karting. A pit area and grandstand round out the facilities, making it a genuine motorsport venue rather than a tourist attraction — the action centres on event and race weekends rather than daily walk-up sessions.

Because it runs as a race circuit, opening hours and entry are not fixed in the way a theme park's would be; reviews from 2018 mention an entry fee of around ฿100, but that figure is old and unverified. If you want to watch racing or use the kart track, the practical step is to check the current schedule and any costs directly with the circuit before making the trip.
