Phuket Gay Pride 2025
Combining a relaxed island vibe with one of the most beautiful parts of the world as a backdrop, Phuket Pride is unique.
An Island Pride! Phuket Gay Pride 2025
Celebrate Pride on the Island of Phuket, one of the most stunning islands in the world. Pride events have returned to the Island in recent years with several different events, parties and parades held at various locations across Patong Beach.
- For gay travelers who want nightlife within a few short blocks no quality hotel location is better than Le Meridian. You’ll love both the hotel and the breakfast here! The hotel is set in tropical landscapes. Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort is just 5 km from lively Patong Beach.
The Event
- Next Edition: Saturday 28th June 2025 – Main Parade and Festival.
- The Phuket Gay Pride festival has been held every year in one form or another since 1999.
- Most of the festival action takes place in Patong beach, which has a thriving gay-oriented entertainment industry, and the local municipality is supportive of the event.
- Events include drag shows, boat parties and a parade. Note, there is no single organizer, with different venues hosting pride events at different times.
- The party kicks off in the Old Town of Phuket (Talat Yai) from 5 p.m. to midnight.
- Those looking for a gay nightlife scene in Phuket will find it year round here, mainly in the Soi Paradise area of Patong.

Where to stay in Phuket?
- Phuket accommodations define luxury. At the height of tourist season you’ll pay dearly for the best hotels. Shrewd planners (shoulder season, mid-week stays during a longer trip to Thailand) are rewarded with lower prices.
