LGBT Business Enterprise certification — Thailand's national mark for LGBTQ+-owned businesses, administered by PrideShow in partnership with the NGLCC global network. Your company must be 51% owned, operated, and controlled by LGBTQ+ individuals. Once certified you qualify for Pink-Economy procurement pipelines at SET-listed PLCs.
Can I list my business if I am an ally but not LGBTQ+?
+
Yes. Allies can register as "Ally Verified" — a separate tier that signals LGBTQ+-friendly practices without claiming ownership. Ally Verified SMEs are visible in the directory and can receive enquiries, but cannot apply for LGBTBE procurement.
What is the Sasin programme?
+
A joint programme with Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration that gives LGBTBE-certified SMEs access to mentorship, capital introductions, and market-research grants. Three tiers: Launcher (0–2 yrs), Builder (3–7 yrs), Champion (8+ yrs).
Do I need to be based in Bangkok?
+
No. PrideShow covers all of Thailand. The directory already includes SMEs in Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Hua Hin. International Thai-owned businesses with a Thai BOI or DBD registration are also eligible.
Are adult-content or nightlife venues listed?
+
Yes — bars, clubs, cabaret venues, and saunas can list. Their profiles are gated behind an 18+ age-verification screen on the public site so that under-18 visitors are never shown adult content.
