The parade and festival events this year will also showcase Thailand's readiness to host World Pride 2030, with Bangkok competing against Barcelona and London. Waaddao Anne Chumaporn, an activist and founder of Bangkok Pride, said this year's event marks a significant milestone for Thailand as the country prepares to present its bid for World Pride 2030 at the International Pride Conference in Phuket in October.
