On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports and the people of Thailand , it is a profound honor and privilege to extend our warmest welcome to all participants and guests attending the " PT Grand Prix of Thailand 2025 ". Hosting the MotoGP for six times underscores Thailand ' s reputation as a premier destination for world-class sporting events . We are confident that your time in our vibrant country , particularly in Buriram , will be characterized by exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences .
The MotoGP in Thailand stands as a testament to the successful implementation of national strategies aimed at integrating sports and tourism as pivotal drivers of economic and cultural advancement . Last year ' s ThaiGP reached extraordinary milestones , attracting 205,343 spectators and contributing 4.759 billion baht to Thailand ' s economy . Beyond its economic impact , the event masterfully showcased the richness of Thai culture on the global stage while delivering unparalleled entertainment . These achievements have firmly established ThaiGP as one of the best-managed events among MotoGP circuits worldwide .
This year ' s recognition of Thailand as the season-opening venue further highlights our nation ' s readiness to excel on the world stage . It is a privilege to have been selected as the first country to host the Season Premier for the 2025 season , unveiling the year ' s competing teams and bikes on February 9 , 2025 . Additionally , the Pre-Season Test held the following week affirms Thailand ' s strategic importance in the global motorsport calendar . These events are expected to draw an influx of riders , teams , media , and fans , many of whom will stay in Thailand for over two weeks , significantly benefiting the Thai economy and providing unparalleled opportunities to showcase the warmth and hospitality of the Thai people .
On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports , as we embark on this sixth edition of the MotoGP Thailand , we aspire to make this event a monumental celebration of sportsmanship , cultural exchange , and economic vibrancy . It is my sincere hope that this year ' s event not only exceeds expectations but also reaffirms ThaiGP as one of the most iconic and unforgettable Grand Prix in the world .
