Overview
Pattaya Kart Speedway is the first karting track in Pattaya — opened on Thepprasit Road Soi 9 in 1987 and continuously operating for 35+ years, making it one of the longest-running motorsport venues in the city alongside the Bira Circuit FIA-rated motor racing track. While the newer EasyKart Pattaya Thepprasit (also Thepprasit Road) brings fresher modern infrastructure, Pattaya Kart Speedway brings the original-and-still-active Pattaya karting heritage plus a meaningfully expanded multi-activity offering including ATV riding, paintballing, bungee jumping, and other sporting activities integrated into a single adventure compound.
The two-track configuration mirrors EasyKart's: 450-meter beginner track for amateurs, children, and double-seater karts, plus a 750-meter professional track for experienced drivers wanting higher-speed action. The 750m pro track is slightly shorter than EasyKart's 800m racing track but the 35-year operating heritage plus bundled adventure activities give Pattaya Kart Speedway a different value proposition.
For Pattaya tourists wanting multi-activity adventure days combining karting + ATV + paintball + bungee under single venue management, Pattaya Kart Speedway is genuinely the only consolidated option. EasyKart is karting-only; Pattaya Kart Speedway is the multi-activity adventure park.
Position in the Pattaya Karting Market
Pattaya karting facilities ranked by recency:
| Facility | Opened | Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Pattaya Kart Speedway | 1987 | First in Pattaya, 35+ years, multi-activity (kart + ATV + paintball + bungee) |
| EasyKart Pattaya Thepprasit | 2020s | Newest infrastructure, 350m + 800m tracks, 24-hour-friendly hours (10:00-01:00) |
| Various indoor karts | Mall arcades | Beginner / kids only |
Pattaya Kart Speedway's specific advantage: multi-activity heritage venue vs. EasyKart's karting purity.
The 1987 Heritage
Why 35+ Years Matters
Continuous operation since 1987 puts Pattaya Kart Speedway in the foundational generation of Pattaya tourism infrastructure:
- Pre-Walking Street modern character — Thepprasit was rural at the time
- Generations of Pattaya tourists have visited
- Established crew and operations with deep institutional knowledge
- Track / equipment maintenance routines refined over decades
- Community relationships with local Pattaya tourism operators
This heritage doesn't make Pattaya Kart Speedway "better" than EasyKart, but it gives it a different cultural resonance — generations of visitors have raced here.
