Join AMCHAM, AustCham, and BCCT for a special Pride Month afternoon tea, where this year’s theme is Bring an Ally. In a time when global events continue to impact the LGBTQI+ community, this gathering offers a space to celebrate solidarity, inclusion, and progress in Thailand. Our featured speaker, Stephanie Galera, Head of Southeast Asia, Open for Business, will lead a conversation on the business and economic case for LGBTQI+ inclusion, spotlighting how allyship drives innovation, resilience, and equitable growth. Whether you are a member of the community or an ally, we welcome you to connect, reflect, and stand together in pride.
