Two nights, two hometown members
The Bangkok stop ran for two nights, November 7 and 8, 2026. It was the CHOOM tour’s stop in Thailand, a market that matters more to BABYMONSTER than most. Two of its seven members, Pharita and Chiquita, are Thai. Their Thai-language moments are what local fans, known with the rest of the fandom as MONSTIEZ, tend to wait for.
YG Entertainment built the group to be a performance act. Expect choreography-heavy staging made for a room this size, not for a stadium. The organiser publishes dates, seating plans and ticket links on its official channels.
Inside Impact Arena
Impact Arena is the oldest building in the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center complex. It opened in 1999 and has been Bangkok’s default indoor venue for K-pop for years. It is a single enclosed bowl, with tiered seating on three sides and a floor area in front of the stage. Seating capacity is roughly 12,000, so even the upper tiers keep a clear sightline to the stage.
The complex is huge. The Challenger halls, the exhibition halls and the arena share one campus around the Muang Thong Thani lake. Signage in Thai and English directs concertgoers to the arena entrances. The Novotel Bangkok Impact sits inside the grounds, and fans travelling from abroad often stay there to skip the late-night trip back.
Getting to Muang Thong Thani
The venue sits in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi, about 25 km north of central Bangkok. Traffic is the biggest variable.
- Rail: the MRT Pink Line runs along Chaeng Watthana Road with a stop at Muang Thong Thani. It connects to the BTS Sukhumvit Line at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat and to the MRT Purple Line at Khae Rai.
- Last leg: from the Pink Line, a short taxi, Grab or motorbike-taxi ride covers the gap to the arena.
- Car or taxi from the centre: the tollway helps, but Chaeng Watthana backs up badly on weekday evenings. Concert traffic makes it worse.
After the encore, thousands of people try to leave at the same moment. Ride-hailing pickups around the complex are slow and surge prices are common. Many fans walk out to the main road or wait inside for the first wave to clear.
How a Bangkok K-pop night runs
Thai K-pop crowds follow a well-worn routine.
- Merch lines form at the official booth hours before the show. On a two-night run, the first night usually takes the brunt.
- Fan-made freebies are a big part of the event. Fans hand out photo cards, stickers and banners outside the arena, and fan clubs often run support projects for the Thai members.
- Official lightsticks are synced by the production. Unofficial lights and large signs that block the view behind you are frowned upon.
- ID and tickets: named ticketing is common at Thai K-pop shows, and staff at the gates may compare your ID with the ticket.
- Food: the complex’s restaurants and convenience stores fill up fast. Many fans eat in Bangkok before setting out.
Fans also sing the fan chant during the songs, and doing so is expected rather than tolerated. Many Thai fans learn the Korean lines in advance, then switch to cheering in Thai the moment Pharita or Chiquita speaks.
