The Thai capital Bangkok is the unrivalled centre of the country's gay, lesbian, and transgender communities.

The first years of the twenty-first century have marked a significant transition moment for all of Thailand's LGBT cultures, with a multidimensional expansion in the geographical extent, media presence, economic importance, political impact, social standing, and cultural relevance of Thai queer communities.
