The 2022 Thailand motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the OR Thailand Grand Prix) was the seventeenth round of the 2022 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram on 2 October 2022.

The Grand Prix returned to Thailand after absences in 2020 and 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background

Riders' entries

In the MotoGP class, Joan Mir has not yet recovered from his ankle injury. The Suzuki Ecstar Team has decided to replace him in this Grand Prix with Danilo Petrucci, from the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, and who until last year was racing in the premier class with the KTM of Team Tech3. Takaaki Nakagami skips this round to undergo surgery on his injured finger that he underwent during the Aragon round and is replaced by Tetsuta Nagashima in LCR Honda. In the Moto2 class, the now retired Gabriel Rodrigo continues to be replaced with Taiga Hada in the Pertamina Mandalika SAG Team. In the Moto3 class, in addition to Nicola Carraro who continues to substitute the injured Matteo Bertelle in the QJmotor Avintia Racing Team, there is a new replacement in the Rivacold Snipers Team against the convalescent Alberto Surra: it is Vicente Pérez, who had not raced in this category since the 2019 Catalan Grand Prix.

The race was originally scheduled to be run for 24 laps, but was initially shortened to 16 laps amid bad weather conditions. After heavier rainfall, race direction red-flagged the race after 8 full laps and decided not to restart the race. As a consequence, half points were awarded after failing to complete 2/3 of the race distance.[7]
