About Bangsaen
Overview
Bangsaen Street Circuit is a temporary road course laid out on public streets in Bang Saen, a beach resort town in Chonburi Province on the eastern Gulf coast of Thailand, about an hour's drive from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. The course uses the northern part of town near the beach and the hotels: it follows Bang Saen Beach, crosses the Laem Thaen headland and runs around Khao Sam Muk hill. Once a year the town hosts the Bangsaen Grand Prix, also known as the Bangsaen Speed Festival, a five-day meeting first held in 2007 that locals have come to call Thailand's Monaco. The meeting includes rounds of the Thailand Super Series, including the Super Pickup classes for race trucks based on pickups, which have a large following in Thailand, and of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The circuit measures 3.7 km. It is a twisty course, closer in character to Macau than to Singapore, with changes of elevation and concrete barriers that leave little margin for error. A chicane between turns 7 and 9 was added for the 2008 race. During the upgrade for international racing, the escape road at turn 8 was extended into the grounds of the Bangsaen Villa Hotel, and the run-off at turn 13 was lengthened and given a permanent crane to lift stranded cars away quickly. The fastest race laps include 1:30.656 by Lo Sze Ho in a Honda Civic Type R TCR during the 2018 TCR Asia round and 1:32.511 by Laurin Heinrich in a Porsche 911 GT3 R during the 2025 Thailand Super Series round.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
Because it runs on the town's streets, the circuit is set up for the event, though parts of the safety installation are permanent. As part of the upgrade, the old stone walls along the route were replaced with permanent safety barriers and concrete debris fencing was added, and the medical facilities and paddock areas were upgraded. The route passes close to the town's beachfront hotels, one of which gave up part of its grounds for the turn 8 escape road.
History
The first race in 2007 was organised by the Three Crowns organisation, headed by the local politician and Porsche racer Sonthaya Khunpluem, and featured local categories, among them a saloon race run from dusk into the night. Early in 2014 the organisers, by then part of Racing Spirit, set out to turn the Speed Festival into an international event, with FIA Grade 3 approval as the main goal. Racing Spirit commissioned the British firm Apex Circuit Design, which worked with the consultant Simon Gardini, who had experience of the street circuits in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, on a safety upgrade that ran from 2014 to 2017. Its first use, planned for 2016, was postponed after the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and the national mourning that followed. In 2017 the FIA Circuits Commission granted design approval as a Grade 3 temporary circuit, and from June 2017 the meeting hosted international racing, with the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia and TCR Asia, the latter until 2019. The F4 South East Asia Championship raced here in 2025, and the 2026 edition marked the event's 20th anniversary.
