Fantoipia 2020, the biggest gathering of our favourite BL and Non-BL actors from Thailand's leading production houses GMMtv and Nadao Bangkok, a two-day fan meeting/concert event dedicated for all the fans last November 21-22 at the historic Impact Arena.
As a BL fan since 2016, it's a dream for me to see all of my favourite BL actors in one event and interact with them, I always imagine myself talking, touching hands and having a close encounter with my favourite BL actors in Thailand. Luckily, this ain't a fantasy no more as I am one of the thousand fans who waited for this fan gathering to happen. The two-day event is fully loaded with activities wherein you can have a 3-minute eye to eye game with your favourite actor or play an X.O.X.O game. Aside from the many activities, you can choose from, there's a special concert with performances from the actors themselves.
The concert is jam-packed with fantastic production numbers from famous BL couples from GMMtv such as Bright Win, Tay New, Peraya and Babii. Group performances from The Grandsons, Jaylerr x Paris, SB Five also gave a jaw-dropping number which left the crowd kept wanting for more.

The most exciting part in Fantopia 2020 was the fan engagement in the challenger hall 1 venue. The artist themselves has their own booth selling different kinds of merch from bucket hat to shirts and many more. This is also the chance for fans to interact with the artists. In the two days that I was in the challenger hall one for the exhibition I really maximized my time in taking selfies to all the BL boys that I follow!

The two-day event was indeed an amazing experience for all the BL fans. I hope that they will also organize another event like this for the international fans in 2021. I do commend also those artists who were in their booth and interacting with fans whether they're going to buy their merch or not. This kind of fan gathering is a once in a lifetime experience that I am sure I will treasure forever.
