With Bangkok throwing in the towel as host to an F1 round, it was then put forward that Phuket might like it, but no real concrete facts to back up the claim.
Not withstanding the Phuket offer, the next site to hold its hand up is Pattaya, which I think is just a pipe dream by the administration. So just where would we build an F1 track here? The Bira circuit is too small, and Bang Saen too narrow, so it would have to be a new circuit.
Now factor in the fact that our Bernie, the patron saint of F1 is looking at a sizable jail term for bribery in Germany if the decision goes the wrong way, so the top dog won’t be in the position to say yes or no, and pocket the millions.
So, as far as Thailand hosting an F1 round – don’t hold your breath!
