UPDATE: Thailand MotoGP Race Still On For 2021 Contract Extended Through 2026

Just hours after the Brno circuit announced that it would not be hosting World Championship motorcycle racing, it looked like another MotoGP round would bite the dust. A news report from the Bangkok Post stated that the Thai MotoGP round at Buriram had been canceled for 2021, and that the race would resume again from 2022.
It turns out, however, that this was a mistranslation on the part of the Bangkok Post. According to Thai PPTTV reporter Une Boonmee, the government spokesperson was explaining that the budget set aside for MotoGP in 2020 had been reused for 2021, rather than the 2021 racing having been rescheduled.
