About Kaeng Krachan Circuit
Overview
Kaeng Krachan Circuit is a permanent racing circuit in Wang Chan subdistrict, Kaeng Krachan District, in Phetchaburi Province in western Thailand. It occupies 150 rai of land, about 24 hectares, in a sloping valley, and the site keeps much of its natural setting. Its racing programme covers national championships for cars and pickup trucks, a six-hour endurance race, club racing and track days.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The full course measures 2,912 m, and shorter medium and short configurations are also available. The track climbs and falls across the valley slope, with 18 m between its highest and lowest points. It strings together left and right bends taken at very different speeds, including uphill and downhill turns and corners whose radius tightens or opens through the bend, linked by faster and slower sections. Because the circuit lies in a valley, spectators can see nearly the whole lap from most points around it.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
Beyond racing, the circuit serves as a training ground for car and motorcycle driving schools, and it also hosts bicycle races. Companies hire it for product launches, and film and advertising crews use it as a location. Teams and visitors find accommodation and restaurants in the surrounding area, especially around the Kaeng Krachan Dam.
History
The circuit grew out of the wish of two racers for a new track in Thailand that could take the growing number of race meetings and let spectators see most of the action. Somchai Srijirarat searched for the land and chose the site, and Ekprawat Petcharak arranged the survey and started the design. Work began at the end of the 2000s, and about ten months after construction started the track was ready for its first national race, a pace of building the operator describes as among the fastest ever for a race track. Sources date the opening to 2009 or 2010.
