Sports has not been something Thailand has focused on in terms of tourism in the past years. 2018, however, will see a change in all this, in that large sports events will be held and promoted as key tourist attractions. Some of the sporting events scheduled to be held in Thailand include Moto GP, Air Race 1 Thailand, World Wai Kru Muay Thai, and Amazing Thailand marathon Bangkok 2018. While locals and professionals will be competing in each of these events, it is expected that they will serve as good events to visit for the regular tourist.
