Go Thai. Be Free.

Thailand welcomes the LGBTQ+ community.

In Thailand, we believe that diversity is amazing. As the most LGBTQ+ welcoming country in Southeast Asia, we’re proud that the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer community – and all people – no matter how they identify; and whom they love; feel free when traveling in Thailand on vacation or holiday. We have something for everyone. Yes, there are LGBTQ+ events, parties and nightlife, but beyond that, we offer rich culture, delicious food, unique local experiences, unparalleled luxury, spellbinding getaways and an experiential break of a lifetime, not to mention some fantastic queer-friendly hotels and resorts. Come visit us and find out for yourself, but in the meantime, let us inspire you with stories that will make you want to go Thai; and be free.
