Phrom Phong · BTS Sukhumvit
Getting There
UOB LIVE is inside EmSphere shopping complex on Sukhumvit Road, in the Phrom Phong area of central Bangkok.
By BTS: Take the Sukhumvit Line to Phrom Phong Station. EmSphere is connected to The Emporium and EmQuartier via the elevated walkway.
By MRT: Phrom Phong is not on the MRT line, so the closest option is to transfer to the BTS Sukhumvit Line at Asok (from MRT Sukhumvit) and ride to Phrom Phong.
By taxi or ride-hailing: Set EmSphere as your drop-off using Google Maps. Grab and Bolt both operate in the area. Allow extra time at peak hours, as Sukhumvit Road is often congested.
By car: Parking is available in the EmSphere building. Expect it to fill up quickly on show nights, so arrive early.
On foot: From Phrom Phong BTS, follow the skywalk directly into the complex, then take the lifts to the 6th floor.
Tip: Public transport is usually the fastest option to avoid traffic around showtime. Use the Google Maps link for live directions.
About Kitarō
Kitarō is a Japanese composer and multi-instrumentalist, born Masanori Takahashi in 1953, who builds instrumental new age music around synthesizers blended with acoustic and traditional textures. He won the Grammy for Best New Age Album for Thinking of You in 1999, after a record 16 nominations in that category, and took a Golden Globe for his 1993 score to Oliver Stone's Heaven & Earth. Expect a slow, immersive set suited to listening closely rather than dancing.
