Illustration: a small round table by a hotel window at dusk, set for planning a trip, with two chairs pulled up side by side: a paper map with a route along the coast road round the bay and dashed across the water to an island marked with a small hand-drawn star, an open notebook with a ticked list and a pen, a small teapot and two cups of tea, and a table lamp lighting the table; beyond the glass, the town along the curve of the bay behind its beach promenade, a wooded headland and the island offshore

Dates and visitor access

The race website has 2026 registration information and sections for the route, road diversions, parking and shuttles. Open those together: a finish-line pin alone does not describe how a driver reaches a spectator drop-off.

Choose your base

Decide between staying in Bangsaen and travelling from Pattaya before booking. For an early start, compare a nearby overnight stay with the cost and practicality of a prearranged departure, and keep baggage separate from the course-side visit.

Compare the areas of Pattaya before choosing a room. Use getting around Pattaya to plan the journey between your base and the event.

Plan the day and the return

Choose a spectator point reachable without crossing the active route. Agree a second meeting point for after the finish and save the parking or shuttle instructions offline.
