G Circuit Songkran
G Circuit Songkran
G Circuit Songkran is one of the largest and most iconic LGBTQ circuit party festivals in Asia, held annually in Bangkok, Thailand during the country’s famous Songkran New Year celebrations in mid-April. Combining Thailand’s traditional water festival with massive international dance events, G Circuit Songkran draws tens of thousands of LGBTQ travelers from around the world for a high-energy, multi-day experience centered on music, community, and celebration.
While the official 2026 schedule has not yet been released, G Circuit Songkran is expected to follow a similar format to 2025, which featured four to five days of events spread across daytime pool parties and large-scale nighttime circuit events. In 2025, festivities typically began with a Welcome Party, giving attendees a chance to pick up wristbands, meet fellow travelers, and ease into the week’s party schedule.
Daytime programming is a major highlight of G Circuit Songkran. One of the most anticipated events each year is the Songkran Pool Party, where water play, DJs, dancers, and themed performances blend with Thailand’s New Year traditions. These events usually take place at large hotels or outdoor venues and offer a more social, playful atmosphere compared to the nighttime parties.
Evenings are dominated by G Circuit’s signature arena-scale circuit events, hosted in massive indoor venues equipped with professional lighting, LED visuals, and international DJ lineups. In 2025, the schedule included multiple themed nights such as a Main Event Party, a White Party–style night, and a high-production Closing Party that ran until sunrise. These events are known for their immersive visuals, packed dance floors, and global crowd representing dozens of countries.
Beyond the official G Circuit events, Songkran week turns all of Bangkok into a celebration. Neighborhoods like Silom and Sathorn host countless unofficial after-parties, bar takeovers, and pop-up events. Many visitors also take advantage of Bangkok’s spas, food scene, and cultural attractions during the day, balancing nightlife with relaxation and sightseeing.
