The Princess’s Cup equestrian competition will take place November 23–29, 2026 in Bangkok, at the equestrian venue of the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Royal Guard in Sanam Pao. The sports program includes dressage, show jumping and international show jumping. If you’re interested in equestrian sport in Bangkok, this is a reason to add the competition to your trip plans.
Besides the sporting events, extra activities are planned for visitors. But there is a caveat: some of the side program has so far only been discussed at the planning stage, so it’s better to choose a day for a specific exhibition or attraction after confirming the schedule. For athletes, the federation has announced applications by email; spectators should check the access procedure to the venue before traveling.
Current as of October 2026. Check visiting conditions in official sources.
When and where
The dates of the Princess’s Cup equestrian competition are confirmed by a direct publication from the Equestrian Federation of Thailand. The announcement lists the dates as November 23–29, 2026 and the venue as the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Royal Guard, Sanam Pao, Bangkok.
The equestrian venue is on Phahonyothin Road, in Samsen district. The exact start and end times of the competitions have not been confirmed. Check the schedule for your chosen day before you leave, especially if you want to see a specific discipline.
For planning your route, see the guide to transport in Bangkok. Check the specific visitor entrance and the route to it with the organizer: the venue address alone does not explain how to get in.
Sports and extra program
The program lists dressage, show jumping and international show jumping. The allocation of disciplines by day is not given in the available official materials, so do not tie a chosen competition to a date without further confirmation.
Side events are designed for visitors interested in equestrian sport. At the planning stage, activities with dogs, shopping and food zones, a carnival, and exhibitions on horses and tourism were discussed. These plans are described in the announcement from the Sports Authority of Thailand.
The sports program and extra entertainment have different levels of certainty: the disciplines are named, but the final schedule of side events has not yet been confirmed. Discussion of activities with dogs does not confirm permission to bring your own pet. If this affects your plans, ask the organizer about the rules separately.
Participation Terms
The Equestrian Federation of Thailand invites athletes to the tournament and has announced applications by email. Check the full regulations, submission deadlines and participant requirements with the federation. The invitation itself does not replace registration confirmation.
For spectators, the access procedure, whether advance booking is required and any restrictions are not given in the official materials. Before traveling, ask which entrance to use and whether you need to arrange your visit in advance. No special dress code is stated either; comfortable clothes and shoes are a practical choice for the trip, but check the venue’s requirements separately.
Don’t build your whole day around a schedule that hasn’t been announced yet. If you plan to combine the competitions with a stroll and want other stops, see the guide to Bangkok’s attractions.
