WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition Kicks Off in Bangkok

The World Poker Tour (WPT) has made its mark in Bangkok, Thailand, as the city hosts its first international poker festival, the WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition. The event, held from July 30 to August 5, 2025, at UOB LIVE, EMSPHERE, promises a week-long series of over 25 poker tournaments, with the highlight being the WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition Championship offering a guaranteed prize pool of ฿37,000,000 (~USD 1 million)[1][2][3].

Thailand, renowned for its first-world infrastructure, could quickly become one of the most popular poker locations in the world. The country's passion for gambling is well-known, but until now, only Macau has been synonymous with poker. However, with the WPT's presence in Bangkok, Thailand is taking a significant step towards becoming a major stop for live poker series[4].

The tournament schedule, initially not released, has now been published and shared on their social media channels. The Championship Event will run from July 30 to August 5, 2025[4]. Access to the tournaments is available via three Poker + Travel packages, priced at THB 7,000 (~$214), THB 14,000 (~$428), and THB 37,000 (~$1,097). The highest-entry tier travel package grants entry to the Exhibition Championship Event with the THB 37M (~$1M) guaranteed prize pool[2].

The Opener, scheduled for the opening day on Wednesday, offers two starting flights: Day 1a and Day 1b, included in the THB 14,000 travel package. Each package includes a free tournament entry and caters to all skill levels. The Monster Stack event is included in the THB 37,000 package, while the 8 Max and Mini Championship events are included in the THB 14,000 package[1][2].

The event will feature various poker formats, including Texas Hold’em, PLO, Hyper Turbo, Deepstack Turbo, and a ladies event. For those looking to get in on the action, players can sign up at WPT Global using the code "VIPGRINDERS" to receive a 100% first-time deposit bonus up to the value of $3,000, plus up to $480 worth of tournament tickets[5].

In addition to the poker tournaments, players can also enjoy local cultural experiences included in the travel packages. The venue for the exhibition is the UOB LIVE entertainment venue, located on the 6th floor of EMSPHERE Mall. The third and final day of the WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition will run on August 5[1].

For those who miss the initial four Day 1 flights scheduled for August 1 to August 3, there's still a chance to join the action. The WPT Prime Thailand Exhibition offers four Day 1 flights for the Championship Event, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to participate[1].
