Prime Minister’s Office Minister Jiraporn Sindhuprai officially opened the LOVE PRIDE PARADE 2025 at Supachalasai National Stadium, Bangkok, on June 29, celebrating Pride Month and Thailand’s strides toward equality.

Over 200 organizations from the public and private sectors, civil society, and the LGBTQ+ community supported the event. Notable figures in attendance included former Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt, and Supaluck Umpujh from the Private Sector Partnership Network.

This year’s parade was especially meaningful, following the recent passage of Thailand’s landmark Marriage Equality Law—making Thailand the first Southeast Asian country to recognize same-sex marriage. The law is seen as a significant step in broadening rights and protections for all citizens.

Pride Month festivities throughout June promote equality, identity freedom, and inclusiveness while boosting Thailand’s global image as a progressive and welcoming nation.

LOVE PRIDE PARADE 2025 stood as a powerful demonstration of unity, diversity, and legal recognition for LGBTQ+ individuals, reflecting the country’s growing openness and commitment to human rights.

The Thai government is set to launch the much-anticipated “Half-Half Travel Thailand” program, opening bookings from July 1. Aimed at stimulating domestic tourism and supporting local businesses, the initiative is being implemented by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in coordination with Krungthai Bank.

What’s on Offer?
Starting July 4, eligible Thai citizens can take advantage of subsidized travel packages under the scheme. A total of 500,000 travel entitlements will be available nationwide.

Each Thai participant can receive up to five travel entitlements:

• 3 for primary tourism cities (e.g., Chiang Mai, Phuket, Bangkok)

• 2 for secondary tourism destinations

Each entitlement includes:

• Up to ฿3,000 per night in lodging subsidy

  • 50% subsidy on weekdays

  • 40% subsidy on weekends and public holidays

• ฿500 digital coupon for spending at participating restaurants and shops

Vendor Participation and Verification
As of June 30, more than 34,000 tourism businesses have signed up via the official TAT portal. Of these, 6,400 have been approved and the rest are undergoing verification by Krungthai Bank to ensure eligibility.
Approved vendors are now listed on the TAT website.

Why It Matters
With a strong response anticipated, this initiative is expected to:

• Revitalize domestic tourism

• Support small and medium-sized travel-related businesses

• Inject spending into local economies across Thailand

Travelers must book with registered vendors only, and all subsidies and coupons must be used during the designated travel period.

Bangkok – Central Pattana plc, Thailand’s No.1 sustainable real estate developer, operating under the vision “Imagining better futures for all,” integrates retail, residential, hotel, and office developments. The company proudly announces its inclusion in the 2025 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list for the second consecutive year.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), in partnership with AirAsia, spotlighted Krabi during the “AirAsia Skytrax 16 Years Celebration” familiarisation trip. Held from 19 to 21 June, the event welcomed over 120 key opinion leaders (KOLs) and media representatives from across Asia, aiming to promote Green Season travel and showcase Krabi as a safe, sustainable, and year-round destination.

A highlight of the trip was the unveiling of AirAsia’s special edition “Still Winning, Still Gold” aircraft livery, commemorating its 16th consecutive win as the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline by Skytrax. The aircraft received an official welcome at Krabi International Airport on 19 June.

Krabi Vice Governor Mr. Suvit Suriyawong warmly welcomed the delegation, expressing pride in the province’s natural beauty and eco-tourism appeal. “Krabi offers unforgettable experiences — from scenic landscapes and community-driven tourism to the hospitality of our people. We hope visitors return not only with wonderful memories but also as ambassadors encouraging others to discover Krabi,” he said.

Guests enjoyed an immersive program featuring a cultural welcome dinner at The Beach Krabi, demonstrations of eco-print textiles, Thai wellness services, and a preview of TAT Connex, a digital tool designed to connect KOLs with rich Thai tourism content for international promotion.

TAT Executive Director of Marketing Services, Ms. Parichart Boonclai, emphasized Thailand’s year-round tourism appeal and Krabi’s leadership in sustainability. “The Green Season is ideal for discovering Krabi’s natural charm and cultural richness. Our ‘Krabi Prototype’ initiative promotes low-carbon tourism, eco-conscious business practices, and local experiences such as mangrove tours in Ban Thung Yee Peng and marine adventures near Ko Ngai,” she noted. Safety enhancements, including upgraded infrastructure and emergency systems, have also been prioritised.

In 2023, Krabi welcomed 6.3 million visitors and generated over 90 billion Baht in tourism revenue. The province’s world-renowned attractions — including Maya Bay, the Phi Phi Islands, and Railay Beach — continue to earn global accolades. Maya Bay, recently named the world’s most Instagrammable beach by Heepsy, has been featured by Lonely Planet and Beach Atlas. Krabi’s unique blend of natural wonders, hot springs, limestone formations, and rich local culture has also made it a favorite filming location, with “Jurassic World Rebirth” being the latest production.

This trip also celebrated AirAsia’s 16-year milestone with Skytrax. According to Mr. Santisuk Klongchaiya, CEO of Thai AirAsia, the recognition reflects the unwavering trust of customers and the airline’s dedication to service excellence. He shared that AirAsia is committed to expanding its regional network and launching new routes aligned with evolving travel trends.

To commemorate the occasion, AirAsia launched special promotions, including discounted fares and baggage perks, available from 19 June to 3 July 2025 for travel through 31 March 2026 via its official channels.

Paraiba Tourmaline
Described as “Neon Elegance in Every Curve,” shoprmcgems’ Oval Paraiba Tourmaline collection showcases electric blue-green hues that are among the rarest and most sought-after in the industry. Carefully cut and curated, these stones are a favorite among high jewelry houses and collectors.

Aquamarine
Known for its calming ocean tones, shoprmcgems offers Aquamarines in exceptional clarity and calibrated cuts, making them perfect for fine designer pieces.

Morganite
The romantic peach-pink glow of Morganite continues to trend globally. Shoprmcgems supplies carefully matched layouts that exude luxury and sophistication.

Tourmaline in All Shades
True to its tagline “More Colors, More Magic”, the company also stocks a wide range of Tourmalines in various cuts and shades—from verdant greens to deep pinks and rare bi-colors.

In the words of a senior manager from the team:

“We’re not just offering gemstones — we’re offering ready-to-use inspiration for jewelry designers worldwide. Our layouts are thoughtfully crafted to help clients visualize complete designs.”

As part of its upcoming strategy, shoprmcgems is focusing on layout innovation, enhanced product visuals, and more trade show exposure. With each event, they plan to debut never-seen-before combinations and exotic cuts tailored to market trends.
