June: Bangkok Pride
Each June, Bangkok Pride bursts into life as a kaleidoscope of colour, music and unbridled joy – a vibrant testament to Thailand’s flourishing LGBTQ+ community. From the spirited parade along Silom Road to open-air concerts and rooftop soirees, the week-long festival weaves together cultural showcases, wellness workshops and advocacy forums. Temples and grassroots groups host merit-making ceremonies alongside drag brunches and beach parties, blending reverence with revelry. Against the backdrop of the city’s neon skyline, Bangkok Pride unites locals and visitors in a celebration of love, visibility and resilient hope – proving once more that in this city, everyone can dance in the streets and be truly seen.
