ICONSIAM’s Historic Rainbow Drone and Fireworks Show Highlights Thailand’s Readiness for World Pride 2030

ICONSIAM, the global landmark on the Chao Phraya River, ended Pride Month 2026 with a historic celebration that captured worldwide attention. On the evening of June 30, 2026, the venue hosted Thailand's first-ever Rainbow Drone and Fireworks Show, an unprecedented spectacle that illuminated Bangkok’s iconic riverfront and reinforced the nation’s commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion.

The five-minute aerial display, titled "Journey of Pride Spectrum," combined vibrant rainbow-themed drones and fireworks against the backdrop of ICONSIAM. The event drew large crowds of local and international visitors along the Chao Phraya River, and images and videos rapidly circulated on social media, generating significant online engagement and highlighting Bangkok’s growing reputation as a welcoming destination for LGBTQIA+ communities and travelers.

The landmark celebration served as a compelling demonstration of Thailand's readiness to host World Pride 2030. Through this showcase of creativity, inclusivity, and cultural expression, ICONSIAM reinforced Bangkok’s potential to welcome global audiences and host world-class international events that unite people from all walks of life.

Throughout June, under the "UNITY OF PRIDE: DIVERSE SERIES, ONE COMMUNITY" campaign, ICONSIAM offered a series of immersive experiences celebrating Rainbow Culture. The destination was transformed into a Pride-Friendly Destination, featuring the Pride Rainbow Waterfall on the 6th floor, Asia’s longest rainbow-themed dancing fountain show, and the ICONIC Rainbow Lighting installation created in collaboration with LightSource, which illuminated the building’s pinnacle in vibrant rainbow hues. The month-long celebration also included the A FAIR x UNITY OF PRIDE shopping festival, the exclusive Pride & Greet fan experience with artists from DOMUNDI, and the contemporary art exhibition "Colors of Pride: Unity in Diversity" by Queer Art Thailand on the M Floor.

ICONSIAM believes diversity is a source of strength that enriches communities, inspires creativity, and brings people together. The overwhelming response to the UNITY OF PRIDE campaign and the Rainbow Drone and Fireworks Spectacular reflects the growing importance of inclusive spaces. As a global experiential destination, ICONSIAM remains committed to championing diversity, equality, and meaningful participation while creating extraordinary experiences for visitors worldwide. Through collaborations with public and private sector partners, ICONSIAM continues to support initiatives that strengthen Thailand’s global profile and reinforce Bangkok’s position as one of Asia’s most dynamic, inclusive, and welcoming destinations, contributing to the vision of hosting World Pride 2030.
