Eastern Thailand Glows with Pride: Celebrate in Chanthaburi and Pattaya

Pride Month Brings Colourful Celebrations to Thailand’s Eastern Region

June is a month to stand proud, and Eastern Thailand is ready to celebrate with a vibrant line-up of Pride events. From the riverside charm of Chanthaburi to the iconic beachfront energy of Pattaya, these destinations are lighting up with love, unity and visibility.

Chanthaburi Pride 2025: Two Days of Prideful Joy

The eastern province of Chanthaburi will host a two-day celebration of diversity and inclusivity with Chanthaburi Pride 2025. On 21 June, Thung Na Choei Public Park becomes a colourful gathering place for performances, cultural showcases, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. Then on 22 June, festivities continue in Central Chanthaburi with a community parade, music, and opportunities for open dialogue and joyful self-expression.

Chanthaburi is best known for its gemstone markets and peaceful river scenes, but during Pride, it sparkles for another reason. This welcoming event blends local charm with a progressive spirit, making it a must-visit for those seeking meaningful celebration in a relaxed setting.

Pattaya International Pride Festival 2025: A Seaside Spectacle

Few places celebrate Pride quite like Pattaya. The Pattaya International Pride Festival 2025 on 28 June promises to be one of the largest and most energetic events in the country. With the city’s famous nightlife and inclusive culture, it’s no surprise that Pattaya has become a key hub for international Pride celebrations.

Expect a grand parade through Central Pattaya, flamboyant performances, and live music that continues well into the evening. With a mix of tourists, locals, and global advocates, this festival combines entertainment with a powerful message of equality and visibility for all.

Why Eastern Thailand’s Pride Events Are Unmissable

Eastern Thailand offers a unique mix of cultural depth and festive spirit. Pride celebrations in this region are community-driven, inclusive, and infused with local identity. Whether you’re joining the relaxed gatherings in Chanthaburi or the full-scale extravaganza in Pattaya, you’ll find yourself part of a movement that uplifts and unites.

Plan Your Visit

Each of these events offers a different flavour of Pride, yet they all carry the same message: love is love, and everyone deserves to be seen and celebrated. Visitors are encouraged to check local schedules for full event details and consider supporting LGBTQ+ vendors, performers, and advocacy groups during their travels.
