These celebrations are a vibrant, joyful explosion of rainbows, love, and self-expression. But let’s be real—ladyboys (or kathoeys) are the true stars of the show, bringing all the glam, sass, and energy to Pride in a way only they can.

Not only is it a chance to celebrate gender diversity and sexual freedom, but Pride in Thailand is also an amazing opportunity to learn about transgender healthcare and the importance of inclusivity—something our clinic knows is vital for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. So, pack your sparkles, grab your rainbow flag, and let’s dive into why ladyboys at Pride are the reason you won’t want to miss these epic events.

Bangkok Pride: Glam, Glitter, and Ladyboy Power

• Ladyboys don’t just participate; they bring next-level fabulousness to the parade, showing off their flawless makeup, stunning costumes, and a level of charisma that makes everyone stop and stare. And if you’re after a little more than just a parade, Pride Village at Lumpini Park is where you’ll find interactive art, live performances, and tons of activities that highlight the transgender experience and healthcare resources in Thailand.

Ladyboys: A Vital Part of Pride’s Heartbeat

Their voices help push for a more inclusive future, where gender diversity is respected and healthcare services are accessible to everyone, no matter who they are.
