Bangkok Pride 2023: A March Fighting For Love, Gender Equality & Diversity











From the heart of downtown Bangkok, a powerful surge of pride energy radiated through the streets of Siam, as the spirited march journeyed from the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre to Central World on June 4, 2023. This vibrant procession, spanning 1.5 kilometers and adorned in the vibrant hues of the Pride flag, served as a resounding declaration of inclusivity and acceptance.


With over 50,000 passionate participants at its core, this remarkable event became a platform to advocate for equality and celebrate the tapestry of diversity that exists within our society. As the procession moved forward, it served as a testament to the unwavering commitment of countless activists who boldly marched, their voices amplifying the urgent call for equal rights and social justice.
