Celebrate PRIDE Month in Bangkok with a vibrant lineup of activities that honor diversity, equity, and inclusion.
1. Born This Way: Bangkok Pride Parade
Following Thailand’s historic legalization of same-sex marriage in January 2025 — the first in Southeast Asia — the city will burst into a spectrum of colors on June 1 from 2–6 PM during the Born This Way: Bangkok Pride Parade. The parade will march from the National Stadium through some of Bangkok’s most iconic landmarks and bustling districts, ending at the Ratchaprasong intersection.


In addition to the parade, Bangkok Pride Forum 2025 was hosted to discuss on LGBTQIAN+ well-being, the rainbow economy, technology, the environment, human rights, and education. The Bangkok Pride Awards was held on May 31 to recognize trailblazers within the community.
2. The 5th Annual Pride Film Festival
Back for the fifth consecutive years with unique activities with sight and sound with deep meanings.

Kimpton Maa-lai Bangkok presents the PRIDE Film Festival and celebrates cinematic stories that embrace the LGBTQIA+ experience. In collaboration with the Australian Embassy in Thailand, the festival features four award-winning films that have shaped conversations around equality and inclusivity.

Screenings take place on June 13 and 14 at the cozy Maa-Lai Library on the 30th floor, with free admission by advance reservation. The celebration continues with a rooftop party at Bar.Yard on Saturday, June 14. All films will have English subtitles.
3. PRIDE & Proud Stay
One of the best locations to experience the parade.

Stay in the heart of the celebration at Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel with the exclusive “Pride & Proud” package. Available through June 2025, the package includes daily breakfast and complimentary access to the high-energy drag show at House of Heals on the hotel’s 23rd floor.
