Bangkok to Conclude Pride Month with Major Parade

BANGKOK (NNT) – Bangkok is hosting the LOVE PRIDE PARADE 2024 on June 30, celebrating the end of Pride Month and the diversity and equality of the LGBTQIAN+ community. This year’s event is especially meaningful as Thailand recently became the first ASEAN nation to legalize same-sex marriage. The parade, touted as the longest in Asia, will cover a 6-kilometer route through central Bangkok.
