Bangkok Pride parade paints the city in a rainbow hue

Bangkok kicked off Pride month with the Bangkok Pride Parade Festival on the theme, “The Celebration of Love”. 

Thailand’s streets transformed into a vibrant display of unity and pride as the LGBTQAN+ community marched, waving the longest rainbow flag spanning over 200 metres, from the National Stadium to the Ratchaprasong intersection, making a powerful statement of inclusivity and diversity. 

Artists, actors, singers, beauty queens, academics, and tourists all came together in solidarity. The parade had distinct themes, each representing a unique aspect of love and acceptance:

1. ELove Wins 
2. Love for Identity
3. Love for Dignity
4. Love for Peace & Earth
5. Love for Freedom
