A gay club in Thailand celebrated New Year with a bustling concert - attended by thousands of topless young men.

An estimated 3,500 partygoers from the country along with tourists from China - where homosexuality is still frowned upon - attended the cramped event to express themselves.

Footage shows the hot and sweaty atmosphere as men kissed and embraced at the ' White Party' rave in the capital Bangkok, on December 31.

Men could be seen dancing shirtless and enjoying drinks to the rhythm of the music.

The gathering was touted as the largest 'White Party' ever to take place in the country, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.

Thailand boasts a thriving and visible alternative sexual lifestyle community. particularly in its tourism-focused destinations. Many Western men who are stifled by the social mores of their homeland visit the country to free themselves of judgment and indulge in pleasures otherwise unavailable to them.

Notably, the country was the first Asian UN member state to pass a comprehensive same-sex marriage law, becoming the first in Southeast Asia and the 37th worldwide.
