The Princess’s Cup Thailand is coming back. The general public is invited to attend the Princess’s Cup Thailand 2023 at the Royal Stable Unit, Sanam Pao, Phahonyothin Road, in Bangkok, from 7 to 17 December 2023.

Minister of Tourism and Sports Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol, who is Chairperson of the Organizing Committee of the Princess’s Cup Thailand 2023, said that Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya would like the Princess’s Cup Thailand 2023 to be organized. Her Royal Highness accepted the responsibility of chairing the Policy Committee of the Princess’s Cup Thailand.

The horse-racing event aims to develop horse-riding skills and experience in equestrian competitions, as well as promoting good relations among equestrians and between equestrian clubs. 

The upcoming Princess’s Cup Thailand 2023, the ninth of its kind, will be held under the concept “Enjoy Our Gender Equality Sport with Harmony of Horse and Human.” This concept represents the special feature of horse-riding as an equestrian competition without gender discrimination. It can be said that horse-riding is a sport of gender equality. Moreover, this sport has a distinctive charm, as it must combine both art and science.

Secretary General of the Thailand Equestrian Federation Nara Ketusingha said that two major equestrian events will take place this year. One is the FEI SEA Youth Cup 2023, to be held from 7 to 10 December. It is the first time that Thailand will host this event. Another is the Princess’s Cup Thailand, to be held from 11 to 17 December, with five competition categories: dressage, jumping, eventing, best farrier, and best groom. Winners will receive trophies presented by Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya.

A variety of activities will also be held alongside the equestrian events, such as dog contests, a Dog Fun Run program, a bazaar of products, a flea market with food trucks and street food, musical performances, and exhibitions.

The exhibitions feature 1) Her Royal Highness and the equestrian sport, 2) Equine Medical and Rehabilitation Service Center, 3) Thai fabric project, and 4) other information about the organizing of the Princess’s Cup Thailand.

Interested persons are invited to attend this event, daily between 7 and 17 December, from 09.00 hr onward. Admission is free.
