This press and media portal for Go Thai Be Free is a resource for journalists, broadcasters and content creators dedicated to chronicling Thailand’s vibrant LGBTQ+ landscape. As the “Land of Smiles” continues to evolve into Southeast Asia’s most progressive leader in LGBTQ+ equality – highlighted by the historic strides in LGBTQ+ rights.

This hub is designed to put you in touch with the correct contacts to streamline your storytelling process. Tourism Authority of Thailand representatives can provide high-resolution assets and direct access to local insights.

Whether you are a travel journalist looking for up-to-date information on LGBTQ+ affirming tourism services, or you are covering Thailand’s Pride festivals, or its thriving queer creative sectors, we are here to ensure your coverage is as authentic, inclusive and impactful as the community itself.

Photography and video

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) maintains a comprehensive library of LGBTQ+ photography and video content available for media use. Members of the press seeking full access to these materials are invited to contact mediacontact@gothaibefree.com.

Go Thai Be Free is the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s (TAT) global LGBTQ+ initiative, driven primarily by the TAT New York City Office in the USA and the organisation’s headquarters in Bangkok. Accordingly, there is no dedicated global press office for Go Thai Be Free.

Connecting to your TAT office

Under TAT policy, all LGBTQ+-related press, media, and content-creator enquiries are handled by the relevant international TAT office, determined by the media title’s or creator’s home base (or nationality, for nomadic creators). While the Go Thai Be Free editorial team is happy to help route enquiries, you’ll typically receive a quicker response by contacting your home office directly. Please note that your home office may be based in a different country or city, as several TAT offices handle multiple geographical regions.
