Anutin leads the support for “Road to Bangkok WorldPride 2030,” showcasing the strength of 57 provinces and 1 city joining in signing to drive gender equality.
On 2 June 2026, Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, participated in a promotional event for Thailand’s bid to host WorldPride 2030. The event also promoted gender equality in Thai society in celebration of Pride Month, honoring the LGBTQ+ community.
Ratchada Thanadirek, spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, revealed that the Pride City Network delegation met with Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul at the central hall of Government House Building 1. They pinned “Road to Bangkok WorldPride 2030” badges as a symbol of support to push for Thailand to be chosen as the global event host in 2030.
The government spokesperson added that in 2026, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security partnered with networks to elevate provincial and city policies to concretely embrace LGBTQ+ rights and diversity. On 28 May 2026, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed to collaborate on pilot provinces promoting gender equality. The initiative received an excellent response, with 57 provinces and 1 city joining, demonstrating local administrative bodies’ readiness to seriously create supportive spaces for all groups.
Throughout June, the government and civil society will jointly organize nationwide Pride Month celebrations. Beyond promoting fundamental human rights, these activities symbolize Thailand’s full readiness to welcome people worldwide. The events reflect a united effort from all sectors to build a society embracing all gender diversities and to support all missions ensuring Thailand’s top preparedness to successfully host WorldPride in 2030.
