The month of June marked the celebration of Pride Month, an event that held special significance for Thailand's diverse LGBTQ+ community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and others). The celebration served as an expression of pride and self-acceptance for the members of the LGBTQ+ community, and such events were held across the globe.

     Thailand joined these global celebrations, symbolizing pride, acceptance, and a true embrace of oneself, reflecting the openness of contemporary society. This year, the LGBTQ+ community in Thailand organized entertaining, vibrant, and diverse events across the country, showcasing significant landmarks. The celebrations included pride parades, costume events, art exhibits, seminars, and music, aimed at celebrating, advocating, and expressing the ideas, proposals, and freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community.

     In addition to the parades with waving rainbow flags, serving as a clear declaration of gender diversity and equality, other significant events were clearly visible throughout the month.

One such event was the "Thailand’s Pride Celebration 2023: Pride for All" held at Central Shopping Centers nationwide. The main events of this celebration showcased equality in diversity and, of course, the colorful spirit of joy and fun. Here are some of the notable events:

• The Pride Parade was held in collaboration with nationwide rainbow alliance partners, voicing diversity and equality.
• Pride Happening included concerts, fashion shows, contests, talk shows, exhibitions, and workshops.
• Pride Vibes was characterized by must-share check-in points and landmarks, along with special collections from famous brands and enticing promotions.

     This grand event was concluded successfully, leaving a lasting impact on the participants and adding another vibrant chapter to Thailand's LGBTQ+ history.
