Get ready to feel the love in the air, the rhythm in the streets, and the colors on every corner—Bangkok Pride Festival 2025 is almost here, and it’s unlike anything the city has seen before.

This isn’t just a parade. This is history in the making.



✨ Why This Year Matters More Than Ever


For the first time in Thai history, Pride Month will be celebrated after the legalization of same-sex marriage. Thailand officially became the first country in Southeast Asia to embrace marriage equality earlier this year, and now it’s time to party with purpose.

Under the theme “Born This Way”, the 2025 Bangkok Pride Festival is more than a celebration—it’s a statement of love, acceptance, and visibility.



📍 When and Where?


🗓 May 30 – June 30, 2025📍 Main parade: June 1 | Rama I Road (from National Stadium to Ratchaprasong Intersection)👥 Expected crowd: Over 250,000 people—yes, you read that right.

It’s going to be loud. It’s going to be proud. And it’s going to be unforgettable.


🎭 What to Expect?


🌟 The Parade (June 1)

Think music, floats, drag queens, LGBTQ+ icons, allies, dancers, and full-blown fabulousness. Starting at 3 PM, this will be a kaleidoscope of joy and resistance.


🧠 Pride Forums

Discussions on LGBTQ+ rights, health, education, business, and more. Expect powerful voices from across Thailand and beyond.


🏆 Pride Awards (May 31)

An elegant evening recognizing the champions of equality and inclusion in Thai society. Expect inspiration, stories, and maybe a few happy tears.
