LGBTQ+ community Yellow Channel has joined hands with Bangkok Pride and ONESIAM to host “Drag Bangkok Festival 2024” for the first time in Asia.

The four-day event will held at Parc Paragon, Siam Paragon, Bangkok from May 31 to June 3.

"Drag Bangkok Festival 2024 would bring together over 500 drag artists from all over the world in one place, including drag icons from Thailand like Art Araya Indra, Jai Sira, M Stranger Fox, Angele Anang and Kana Warrior,” said Phatthara Lertsukittipongsa, director of Yellow Channel Co Ltd and the founder of the Drag Bangkok Festival 2024 and Bangkok Pride Festival 2024. “It is a great gathering of entrepreneurs, stores, actors and actresses who support the Thai Drag Community,” Phatthara said.

He added that the event aims to reaffirm Thailand's position as a hub for LGBTQIA+ by raising awareness and understanding of drag culture and supporting Thai drag artists who have the potential to drive Thailand's economy like the other genders.

Waaddao Chumaporn, the founder of Naruemit Pride and one of the event's organisers, said: "This event would be held under the concept ‘Celebration of Love’ to count down to the implementation of equal marriage laws by the end of this year."

Waaddao said there would be a celebration, performances, parties and fashion shows by Thai drag artists domestically and internationally. The highlight is expected to be Thailand's biggest and most spectacular drag parade called “Drag Bangkok Pride Parade” with the theme “I've got the power” on June 1.

Don't know how the hell you missed Olddaddy in his flowing rose cape. Says there's room for at least two soccer guys under that thing.
