Ian Philips the PLU Chairman said

This only our 3rd year of PLU organizing Phuket Pride week and under the theme of this year’s Pride week ‘Celebrating who we are’ we hope that we will attract even more people than we did last year. Not only to have a fun week of celebrations but also help us to raise money for our charities. Over the past two years we raised over 500,000 Baht for Phuket LGBT & HIV charities and hope that this year with so many events and continued support from many of last year’s sponsors and some very exciting new ones we will achieve our target of raising 1 million Baht
