Avani+ Samui Celebrates Love and Equality with “Marry Go Loud”

In a vibrant celebration of love and equality, Avani+ Samui Resort has joined hands with Pride Nation Samui International Festival, Thailand’s largest LGBTQIAN+ event, to announce the groundbreaking “Marriage Equality: Marry Go Loud” festivities from June 24 to 28, 2024. Against the backdrop of the recently passed Marriage Equality Bill, Koh Samui will host a music festival that will turn the island into a true PRIDEradise before culminating in the iconic Pride Sunset Parade.

The Event

LGBTQIAN+ couples in attendance who want to celebrate their love with a symbolic gesture can do so by taking part in a historic “Marriage Equality: Marry Go Loud” registration ceremony taking place on the breezy beachfront of Avani+ Samui from 24 to 28 June. As part of the event, each couple will receive an unofficial marriage certificate presented as a heartfelt tribute to their commitment by the Pride Nation Samui International Officer who will be officiating the unions.

The festivities will reach their peak on 28 June with a special programme featuring Porsch - Apiwat Apiwatseri and Arm - Sappanyoo Panatkool, lead actors from the series “Ai Long Nhai” and an inspiring real-life LGBTQIAN+ couple. The duo will celebrate their journey of love spanning over 14 years by registering their union at Avani+ Samui.    

“Avani+ Samui is honoured to contribute to this momentous celebration,” said Stephan Rohrer, General Manager at Avani+ Samui Resort. “As proud supporters of the LGBTQIAN+ movement, we are excited to be at the centre of this year’s celebrations as Thailand takes another step towards becoming one of the world’s most Pride-friendly destinations, embracing love in all its forms.”

For couples looking to tie the knot on Samui, the resort offers a collection of wedding packages and venues, including classic beachfronts celebrations, dramatic overwater ceremonies atop a glass platform, cinematic wedding receptions at the pool deck, and the resort buyout option, with prices starting from THB 65,000
