Are Bangkok Gay Bars Safe?

Did you know that Thailand is considered the most LGBTQ+ friendly country in Asia?

Homosexuality has been legal in Thailand since 1956, and the military embraces citizens regardless of their sexual orientation. A recent survey revealed that 88.7% of Thais are supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. In 2022, Thailand passed a Partnership Registration Bill, granting same-sex couples legal recognition as life partners and the same rights as heterosexual couples, including the ability to adopt children.

Bangkok made history in 2022 by hosting its first official Pride Parade, known as Thailand Pride. The city also celebrates LGBTQ+ events such as the popular Songkran Gay Circuit Party and the Asia Circuit Festival.

Where Can You Find Gay Bars in Bangkok?

The epicenter of Bangkok’s gay nightlife is the Silom neighborhood. Located just south of Lumphini Park, Silom is easily accessible via Si Lom Subway Station or Silom MRT Station.

Two main streets are central to the gay bar scene: Silom Soi 4, renowned for its vibrant gay bar scene, and Silom Soi 2, known for its LGBT clubbing hotspots, including the famous DJ Station.

Silom Soi 4 is typically the go-to destination for gay travelers exploring Bangkok’s nightlife. For your first night out in the city, we recommend hopping from bar to bar along this lively street, enjoying drag performances, sipping on craft cocktails, or relaxing with a budget-friendly beer on an outdoor patio—perfect for people-watching.

Although weekends are the peak times to experience Bangkok’s nightlife, the city’s high tourist influx means that cocktail bars, drag shows, and cabaret performances can be bustling even on weekdays, particularly from November to March during the tourist high season.
