Royal Turf Club of Thailand, Horse racing venue and registered historic site in Dusit district, Bangkok, Thailand.
The Royal Turf Club is a horse racing venue in Bangkok with a large track, grandstands, and distinct areas designed for spectators and racing participants. Its layout includes multiple viewing levels and facilities spread across well-organized grounds.
The club was founded in 1916 by Thai aristocrats as an alternative venue to the Royal Bangkok Sports Club and later received royal approval. This establishment marked a significant moment in Thailand's organized horse racing history.
The club maintains horse racing traditions and serves as a gathering place where the local equestrian community comes together to share their passion for the sport.
The venue has different seating sections and entry points catering to various visitor preferences. It's helpful to check when racing events are scheduled to plan your visit and understand which areas will be open.
The venue hosted three main annual racing events: the Derby Cup in January, the President Cup in June, and the Ramraghob Cup in November. These recurring tournaments drew enthusiasts from across the country and formed the core of the racing calendar.
