If you were to ask anyone about their favourite party, it would likely be one that featured an abundance of music, booze, and friendly people looking to have a seriously good time. Thailand has always been a destination for such parties, the biggest of them all probably being gCircuit Songkran.
Songkran is undoubtedly one of the greatest events in Asia’s LGBTQ+ calendar, and this April, Thailand will again be the destination for soul-seekers and party animals who have a serious need to let their hair down. Asia’s hottest gay rave ‘gCircuit Songkran’ is back, and it’s shaping up to be bigger and better than ever! Here are four reasons to be excited about this year’s gCircuit Songkran.
It’s a gay paradise
As if Thailand wasn’t already one of the most queer-friendly destinations, gCircuit Songkran notoriously attracts thousands of gay people from across the globe to celebrate in Bangkok – and the event has done so since 2007. An estimated 8,000 attendees party each night of the four-day circuit festival in Thailand’s capital, and that number grows every year.
It should come as no surprise that Songkran is lovingly dubbed Thailand’s annual ‘Gay Migration’. Pair this with the fact that it takes place in arguably one of the most beautiful countries on earth – rich with culture and idyllic landscapes – and you have yourself the perfect getaway!
gCircuit Songkran trumps with the best venues
Thousands of migrating gays will need big venues once they land, and Bangkok isn’t short of amazing spaces to host out-of-this-world events. gCircuit Songkran is usually split between multiple venues, so check out their website for the latest goings on.
DJs, dancers, and bears, oh my!
gCircuit Songkran offers an outstanding line-up of internationally acclaimed DJs and performers, in the past including Mor Avrahami, Tom Stephan, Erick Ibiza, Isis Muretech, Ivan Gomez, Nacho Chapado, and Alex Acosta (official remixer for Rihanna, Nick Jonas, and Ariana Grande). The event also showcase some of Asia’s hottest DJs, such as Chu, Preeda Tony, Sun J, and many more. Expect nonstop dancing and electrifying music from start to finish.
You’ll be thrilled to know that gCircuit has scouted some of the most handsome men from eight different cities across Asia to perform at this year’s event. We’re talking more than 30 smokin’ hot, skimpily dressed go-go dancers, including some of Asia’s most popular bear go-go dancers who are soon to be revealed…
Look forward to gCircuit Songkran magic
During Songkran in Bangkok, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in an age-old tradition. The entire city comes to life to usher in the Thai New Year in the most beautifully chaotic way with religious ceremonies, food vendors, street parties, and all-out water wars. Embrace it, and don’t be afraid to get a little wet! If you need to escape the crowds at any point, we highly recommend you visit one of Bangkok’s many temples or unwind in one of these gorgeous LGBTQ+ friendly hotels.
