Celebrate Thai fandom at LACON 2023 this July

“LACON” is an exciting term that combines the words ‘Lakorn’ and ‘Convention.’ In Thailand, ‘Lakorn’ refers to the immensely popular Thai television dramas that hold a special place in the country’s vibrant entertainment industry. These Lakorns span across diverse genres, including romance, drama, comedy, action, and historical themes, captivating audiences with their compelling narratives and talented actors. 

LACON

The birth of LACON Thai Fandom Event was inspired by a compelling vision to unite the Thai fandom in a day filled with boundless enthusiasm, friendship, and unforgettable fun. Happening on July 8, 2023 at the Philippine Trade Training  Center (PTTC), LACON is bringing together fans of different fandoms while fostering a sense of community and shared passion for Lakorns. The event also aims to provide an opportunity for fans to forge new friendships and connections within the Thai fandom. 

At LACON, fans will be treated to an exciting lineup of activities and experiences that promise to create lasting memories. The convention will feature Thai Fanclubs booths, where attendees can indulge in their passion for their favorite shows and explore a wide range of merchandise available for purchase. Additionally, LACON will host a series of interactive contests that showcase the talent and creativity of attendees like the Thai Dance Contest, Thai Look-aLike Contest, and Thai Singing Competition. 

However, the highlight of LACON will be the presence of the esteemed cast from the sensational Thai BL series, Hit Bite Love. Woraphon “Bigboss” Charoensuk, Alan Campana, Nawapat “New Year” Thanamongkolsawat, Vasin “Jur” Traiprakhong, Natthapat “Tae” Meesuk, Vittawin “Vic” Panichtamrong, and Jirayus “Goove” Sarika will grace the event with their presence, adding an extra layer of excitement and charm. Their captivating performances and undeniable on-screen chemistry will undoubtedly enhance the overall experience of the convention, leaving fans mesmerized and wanting more. 

“Hit Bite Love” The Series is a 6-episode Thai BL series that offers an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of teenagers in school, capturing the essence of their vibrant interactions and playful camaraderie. However, what truly sets it apart from other series is its unflinching exploration of the darker and grittier aspects of teenage love, presenting a more mature and nuanced perspective. 

LACON

This extraordinary series fearlessly delves into the complex layers of teenage relationships,  peeling back the façade of innocence to reveal the tumultuous emotions and profound challenges that often accompany this phase of life. By fearlessly tackling these deeper themes, “Hit Bite Love” elevates itself beyond the confines of typical teen dramas, delving into the realm of maturity and emotional depth. In its unapologetic portrayal of the darker side of teenage love, the series fearlessly confronts the complexities of human desire, unearthing the difficulties that arise when exploring one’s sexuality and navigating the intricacies of intimate relationships. It explores the gray areas of consent, personal boundaries, and the ethical dilemmas that young individuals grapple with as they embark on their journey of self-discovery. 

LACON is a one-of-a-kind event where fans can fully immerse themselves in the world of Thai dramas. Regular Admission Fee is priced at PHP 950, while Hit Bit Love Passes are priced at PHP 2,500 for Regular and PHP 5,500 for VIP. Tickets are still available via https://tinyurl.com/LACON2023
