Tourism and Sports Minister Surasak Phancharoenworakul presided over a press conference announcing the organization and ticket sales for the MotoGP World Championship Grand Prix of Thailand 2027. Attendees included Natriya Thawiwong, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports; Phasakorn Rungsiwathanakul, Minister's Secretary; Prodpran Sumanamitr, Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT); Ekaphap Miphan, Governor of Buriram Province; Samon Mingkhamleuang, SAT Deputy Governor for Professional Sports and Boxing; and public-private sector partners. The event took place on the 25th floor of the SAT's 7th Cycle Birthday Anniversary Building on November 9, 2026.
