TUFF Bar turns into a classroom of sorts this Pride Month as The Lovers' Plan hosts an evening exploring sapphic history, identity and activism in Thailand. Tucked away on the third floor behind Silom Edge, the community hub welcomes a night that's part lecture, part conversation and all about community, with a welcome drink included.

The event is organised by The Lovers' Plan, a queer rights advocacy group with more than a decade of experience in Thailand’s LGBTQ+ movement. The talk goes beyond surface-level timelines, exploring the language and terminology used across sapphic communities here, the people and moments that shaped them, and the kinds of honest conversations that rarely get a platform quite like this one.
The evening begins at 7pm, with registration and complimentary drinks available until 7.20pm. The lecture runs from 7.20pm to 8.30pm, followed by a 30-minute Q&A session where attendees can ask questions in Thai. While the presentation is conducted in English, the atmosphere, audience and venue all carry a distinctly local pulse.
TUFF – named after tuff rock, a volcanic stone that's soft yet enduring – opened last year as one of Bangkok's few explicitly sapphic-focused venues, welcoming lesbian women, transmascs, dolls and their friends. It's become less a bar than a community anchor, making it a fitting setting for a night like this.
