9. THAILAND

This year the Tourism Authority Of Thailand hosted its first LGBT+ Travel Symposium in Bangkok, with the aim of growing its reputation among LGBT visitors and becoming a model destination for the sector. “We are proud that LGBT travellers can stay anywhere in Thailand with complete peace of mind,” a spokesperson said. “Our kingdom is open to every possible shade under the rainbow.” The Authority’s Go Thai Be Free campaign already promotes LGBT life in Thailand to visitors. It’s really the only Asian country to openly chase pink dollars.
