Opened in the 1980s, Chaing Mai racecourse is operated by the Sports Development Centre of the Thai army. As one of the few state-licensed racecourses in Thailand, betting is allowed and is the only kind of gambling, apart from the National Lottery, which is permitted in Thailand.[1][2][3][4][5]
Horse races take place each Saturday with eight to ten races held on a sand track. Facilities include a grandstand for several hundred spectators with a VIP area, food and drink outlets and betting counters.[1][2][3][4]
In 2020, it was reported that the racecourse may be closed down.[6]
