Southern Thailand's biggest annual LGBT gathering, Phuket Pride Week, this year takes place on Apr 19-26. 

Head over to Patong Beach to join locals, expats and tourists for a week filled with pool and beach parties, parades, sporting events, day trips, gala dinners, auctions and other fundraising events organized by the Phuket Loves You (PLU) Club. 

The funds raised from the event will go to charities such as The Life Home Project and health clinics that offer a safe environment for those with HIV and free STD testing and health advice.
