Bangkok 2025 Pride: Avani Hotels Light Up the City with Art, Music, and Celebration
Bangkok is set to shine brighter than ever in 2025 as it embraces Pride Month with renewed spirit and purpose, following Thailand’s landmark decision to legalize marriage equality earlier this year. This historic shift adds even more significance to Pride celebrations across the city, and Avani Hotels are leading the charge with a series of electrifying events and inclusive experiences across three vibrant properties.
At Avani+ Riverside Bangkok, the mood rises as high as the skyline. The hotel’s rooftop hotspot, SEEN Restaurant & Bar, will dazzle guests with panoramic city views and a menu of bold Pride-themed cocktails. Just below, the hotel’s celebrated nightlife venue, Lost & Found, promises an unforgettable celebration of identity, performance, and freedom. This year, on Saturday, June 7, Lost & Found will present a spectacular, one-night-only event titled “Drag Up the Past,” a dazzling tribute to forty years of queer music history — from the soulful sounds of 1990s icons to the chart-topping stars of the 2020s. Expect drag shows, live performances, and an all-out celebration of individuality.
Throughout the month of June, Avani+ Riverside will also host a special Pride art exhibition, running from June 1 to 30. The exhibit will showcase works from eight prominent Thai artists, featuring everything from sculpture and painting to multi-sensory installations. The exhibition aims to honor the vibrancy, resilience, and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community through powerful visual storytelling.
Across the city, the celebration continues at Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok, where art and gastronomy unite. Partnering with local creative collectives KAKKATOON and Feel Gooood Factory, the hotel will offer limited-edition afternoon tea sets that blend colorful desserts with expressive art, turning a traditional experience into a playful tribute to Pride, culture, and self-love.
Meanwhile, over at Avani Ratchada, the Pride Month kickoff takes on a creative flair. On June 1, the hotel will host an exclusive Artists Brunch, spotlighting the launch of a new visual art collection by Thossaporn Chuatong, the visionary behind Caliiico. The brunch sets the stage for a series of cultural and musical highlights, including a soulful live set by popular Thai vocalist and LGBTQ+ icon Thanaphat Wongkhothong, better known as Topsie. Performing alongside his band Laboon BrightMoon, Topsie will deliver a heartfelt performance that captures the essence of Pride and celebrates authentic expression.
From rooftop revelry to immersive art and inclusive culinary collaborations, Avani Hotels across Bangkok are curating a city-wide Pride celebration that honors love, diversity, and the power of being true to oneself. Whether through music, food, or visual art, each venue offers a dynamic way to engage with Thailand’s thriving LGBTQ+ culture during this landmark year.
