Pride Show Bangkok

June 26 to 28
BITEC Live, 88 Debaratna Road, Bang Na; tickets at theprideshow.com

Part trade expo, part drag spectacular, Pride Show Bangkok turns BITEC’s cavernous halls into three days of exhibitions, cabaret, competitions and professional networking, all organised around the country’s much-discussed “Soft Power 5 Fs”: Food, Festival, Film, Fight and Fashion. The programming is genuinely eclectic: the “Wig It Out” zone covers drag grooming and styling, the PANG/PAENG stage hosts professional artists, and SLAY gathers health and beauty practitioners, including hormone therapy specialists. It’s an unusual format a conference that looks like a festival, or perhaps the other way around but it reflects a growing understanding that Bangkok’s queer ecosystem is an economic engine, not just a month of colourful streets. The 2026 edition is the flagship, so expect it to be loud. Full programme and registration at theprideshow.com.
