Pride parades are expected to sweep the capital from tomorrow as part of a nationwide campaign to host WorldPride 2030.
Bangkok Pride Festival 2026 returns with the theme "Patch The World With Pride" until June 1. It is set to take over Silom Road, Henri Dunant Road and Rama I Road, from 2pm-10pm tomorrow with a more than 500m-long rainbow flag. Starting at Nararom Intersection (Chong Nonsi Canal), the 3.8km-long parade route covers landmarks, including Silom Soi 4, Chulalongkorn University and Siam Square, ending at the National Stadium.
Ann Chumaporn, or Waaddao, founder of Naruemit Pride, which organises Bangkok Pride Festival, expects this year's parade to attract a crowd of more than 350,000 in 2025.
