Live poker is officially making a return to Thailand, and it is happening in Bangkok this July and August. After announcing its comeback in April,
the World Poker Tour now officially confirmed its WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition will take place from July 30 to August 5, bringing together players from around the world.
Good to know
- Players aged 18 and above from any region can join, including local Thai participants.
- Travel packages include tournament entry and curated local experiences.
- UOB LIVE at EMSPHERE will serve as the central venue for the tournament series.
Venue and Location
WPT Global has chosen UOB LIVE as the venue, situated on the 5th floor of EMSPHERE. The location is the newest addition to Bangkok’s luxury mall scene. With direct BTS Skytrain access, it offers convenience for local and international guests. The surrounding area is packed with hotels, restaurants, and nightlife, making it easy for players to enjoy more than just poker.
The event will feature multiple tournaments over the course of a week, though the full schedule is still under wraps. WPT has encouraged players to stay updated through its official website and platforms such as iGaming.org.
Travel Packages and Tournament Entry
What makes this event different is the integration of poker and travel. WPT is offering three travel package tiers priced at THB 7,000, THB 14,000, and THB 37,000. Each package includes a ticket to an event, and the highest tier grants access to the WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition Championship. That event includes a guaranteed travel sponsorship worth THB 37,000,000—around $1 million.
Packages will be available at travel counters on-site, allowing players to make arrangements directly. The event welcomes seasoned pros, casual players, and new entrants alike. Anyone 18 or older can register and play.
While the tournament details are still pending, anticipation is already high. Online poker pros based in Thailand—from Phuket to Bangkok—are expected to show up in force, and the event is likely to draw international attention.
The mix of poker, culture, and travel makes WPT Prime Thailand stand out. It is more than just a tournament—it is an experience in one of Asia’s liveliest cities. If you plan to attend, mark the dates and get ready. It’s going to be huge!
Event Dates: July 30 to August 5.
