UOB Live EMSPHERE Mall: The Ultimate 6,000-Capacity Arena

UOB LIVE is Bangkok’s state-of-the-art entertainment arena, situated atop the EMSPHERE mall in the heart of Sukhumvit’s EM District. Since hosting the landmark 2025 WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition, it has emerged as Thailand’s primary venue for massive international poker festivals, offering an immersive environment that blends high-stakes competition with luxury lifestyle and dining.

The 2026 Tournament Experience

While Thailand does not permit permanent cash game rooms, UOB LIVE serves as a dedicated arena for sanctioned international series such as the **WPT Prime** and upcoming regional tours. The energy is defined by the scale of its festivals, where the 4,400-square-meter hall is transformed into a professional poker floor with dedicated livestream tables and VIP suites.
