Krabi Bids to Host 2027 Cliff Diving World Final
Krabi province is bidding to host the 2027 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series final at Koh Hong National Park after inspectors evaluated the site's suitability. The province previously hosted the event in 2013 and aims to boost sports tourism and the local economy, though it faces strong competition from the Philippines.
Krabi is awaiting the decision on whether it will host the 2027 Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series finale after an inspection team surveyed Koh Hong National Park for suitability as the season's final championship venue. The survey involved planning and scouting anchor points for the competition course. Koh Hong is regarded as having outstanding potential with its natural beauty, seascape views, and unique terrain ideal for cliff diving, attracting world-class athletes. Krabi previously hosted the event in 2013 and sees a 2027 return as a major opportunity to promote its tourism attractions internationally, establish a sport tourism identity, and stimulate the local economy. The Philippines is also a strong contender, making the bidding process highly competitive and worth monitoring.
