2025-02-13
Bangkok, 12 February 2025 – Thailand is making waves as a premier LGBTQ+ travel destination with the launch of the Amazing Thailand Out There series. Hosted in Bangkok, this groundbreaking event underscores Thailand’s commitment to inclusivity, culture, and connection, further solidifying its status as a global leader in LGBTQ+ tourism.
Coming just after the enactment of Thailand’s Equal Marriage Act in January 2025, the event highlighted the country’s progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights. With the LGBTQ+ travel market projected to generate US$1.5 billion in spending by 2025 and Thailand ranking fifth globally in tourism impact, this initiative strategically taps into a thriving sector.
Connecting the Global LGBTQ+ Travel Market
The event featured three key components aimed at strengthening business connections, amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, and celebrating Thailand’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community:

This session brought together 20 Thai tourism suppliers and 18 international travel agents specializing in LGBTQ+ tourism from the USA, Canada, and Brazil.

Many attendees also embarked on a week-long familiarization trip across Thailand, exploring its diverse tourism offerings.
Meet The LGBTQ+ Influencers
The second highlight of the event was a showcase of influential LGBTQ+ figures. Six influencer couples from the USA, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia, along with a popular Australian TikToker based in Thailand, shared their experiences. Adding to the excitement, newlywed Thai actors Apiwat “Porsch” Apiwatsayree and Sappanyoo “Arm” Panatkool engaged with media and travel suppliers, reinforcing Thailand’s reputation as an inclusive and welcoming destination.
