Phuket Pride Week’s Grand Parade to block beach road on Sunday

PHUKET: Phuket Pride Week 2014 will go out with a bang on Sunday with its Grand Parade – the highlight of the eight-day event – marching down Patong’s beachfront road.

The beach road will be blocked during the parade, which starts at 3pm at Soi Tan and will present a plethora of floats, fantastically dressed people, street entertainment and music.

The Grand Parade has been a big crowd-pleaser for years, and hordes of people are expected to line the streets on Sunday for the wild and colorful spectacle.

Phuket Pride Week 2014 has been a fun week for those taking part – gay, straight or undecided. For more information about the week’s events, please click here.
