The Thai craft rum distillery Chalong Bay is launching a Limited Pride Edition rum commemorating same-sex marriage legalization in Thailand, a show of support and love for the LGBTQ+ community. 

Chalong Bay will donate 3% of the revenue from every special edition bottle of the Chalong Bay Pride Edition rum to Apcom, a leading Asia and Pacific LGBTQ+ community network.

"At Chalong Bay, our craft is also our voice," says Chalong Bay co-owner Chinavich “P’Lek” Ratanachinakorn (P’Lek). "The legalization of same-sex marriage in Thailand is a monumental step forward, and we are proud to release our Limited Pride Edition rum as a testament to our belief in equality, respect, and the freedom to love without boundaries."

The rum itself is made from organic, hand-harvested Thai sugarcane and is made using a traditional French copper still, along with fresh zest of hand-peeled Thai limes. 

This special release is more than just a bottle of rum; it's a heartfelt embodiment of Chalong Bay's core values: honoring Thai heritage, supporting local communities, championing sustainability, and preserving the natural environment.
