BTS’s December concerts are making travel in Southeast Asia more expensive. Knowing the price changes can help you plan a cheaper trip.

In Bangkok, the median price for a seven‑night hotel stay is €73 for dates starting on Nov. 28 and €77 for stays beginning Dec. 5. These rates are about 14 % and 20 % higher than the €64 rate for stays that start on Nov. 21, and Airbnb searches for Bangkok rooms during the concert dates have risen almost 590 % year‑on‑year.

In Singapore, international flight bookings for arrivals between Dec. 16 and Dec. 23 are up 62 % year‑on‑year, according to Amadeus. Bookings from the Philippines have risen more than sevenfold, moving the Philippines from the ninth to the second biggest source market for Singapore during that week, and hotel rates have averaged $237 a night, a 6 % increase from last year.

All BTS shows in Bangkok (Dec. 3, 5, 6) and Singapore (Dec. 17, 19, 20, 22) are sold out, showing strong fan demand. The concert hype shows how a big music tour can quickly raise hotel and flight prices in nearby cities.
