It is the Buriram circuit that is owned by the Chang beer magnate. It has already hosted World Superbikes for the last two or three years. Be aware, I am told by friends that have been to bike races, it gets VERY HOT in the stands.

Great set up and complex, I go up every year to watch my team play Buriram at football and always enjoy a long weekend. Couple of good bars and some excellent value hotels, friendly and laid back little town.

Interesting reply from Rossi;
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/news/sports/30317705Buri Ram track ‘very boring’ for champ Rossi
ine-time World Grand Prix winner Valentino Rossi dismissed the Buriram International Circuit as “not interesting”, as Thailand bids to host its maiden MotoGP at the venue in October next year, according to an article on http://www.motorsport.com on Thursday.
The Italian star visited the circuit two years ago for a promotional activity with his sponsor Yamaha and was not happy with the venue, according to his interview with the website journalist.
“The track is not interesting. It’s very boring, has not a lot of corners, just long straights. I think it’s not the best place to go. And also where is the track is quite bad, it’s far from everything,” he said in the article.
Thailand earlier this month got the green light from MotoGP promoter Dorna Sport to host the world’s premier motorcycle racing event from 2018-20. The first edition will be held from October 5-7 next year. Thailand will have to pay Bt400 million as licence fee for three years. Bt100 million is being raised from the public sector and the rest from the private sector.
The 38-year-old Italian was also quoted as saying: “So I’m not very happy to go to Thailand, essentially, on that track. But if we have to go, we’ll go.”
Buriram is the only racing circuit in Thailand which meets FIM standards and has hosted international races such as the World Super Bike, Asia Road Racing and GT Series Asia. – The Nation

Maybe if Rossi started winning again (2009) I may listen to what he thinks is interesting.
Vinalis, now there's an interesting rider!

pew, pew, pew, pew!
Motogp still interested because of Rossi, is very popular because of Rossi, many riders earn a lot of money because of Rossi and has the most supporter across the world so is a masterclass.
