Tour of Thailand 2027 Rescheduled to Avoid PM2.5 Dust
The international cycling race 'Tour of Thailand 2027' has been postponed to June to mitigate health risks associated with seasonal air pollution.
The Cycling Association of Thailand, in collaboration with Chiang Rai province, has officially announced a date change for the international cycling event, 'The Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s Cup Tour of Thailand 2027.' Originally scheduled for March 24 to April 2, 2027, the competition will now take place from June 28 to July 7, 2027.
According to General Decha Hemkrasri, President of the Cycling Association of Thailand, the decision to reschedule was made primarily to avoid the peak season of haze and high PM2.5 dust levels that typically affect Northern Thailand during the spring. This adjustment aims to ensure the safety and health of the participating athletes and support staff.
The event is organized to honor Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on the occasion of her 72nd birthday. While the new dates have been set to prioritize air quality, travelers and residents planning to visit Chiang Rai or follow the race route should update their itineraries accordingly. As of now, the specific race stages and logistical details for the new summer dates remain subject to further official announcements from the organizing committee. Participants and spectators are encouraged to monitor official updates from the Cycling Association of Thailand as the event approaches.
