Choose a Hotel on Soi 24
Staying nearby reduces travel on concert day. At Valia Hotel Bangkok, Phrom Phong and the EM District remain within easy reach. If you’re choosing a hotel in Sukhumvit, Bangkok, our complimentary shuttle connects you with BTS Phrom Phong and nearby malls. The service runs from 6:00 am to midnight, every 15 minutes except from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, when it runs every 30 minutes.Â

Dining at EmSphere
Because UOB Live sits inside EmSphere, dinner can stay simple. EM Market and the complex offer Asian, European, Western, café, and dessert options, so you can eat before the show without travelling elsewhere. Arriving a little earlier also gives you more time to choose a venue and enjoy dinner without rushing.

Cocktails at Butterfly Bar
Butterfly Bar at Valia Hotel Bangkok offers signature cocktails and organic wines as part of our Florae dining experience. It’s a relaxed option before or after the concert, especially if you want to slow the pace without heading to another busy venue.

Checking UOB Live’s guidelines beforehand can make entry smoother, especially as individual events may add their own conditions.
