TAGS

Thailand has made a historic stride in LGBTQ+ rights with the enactment of its marriage equality law in January 2025. This law amends the Civil and Commercial Code to officially recognize same-sex unions, providing equal rights and benefits to same-sex couples.

In preparation, the Department of Provincial Administration (DPA), Ministry of Interior, has trained officials nationwide on the new procedures for registering same-sex marriages. The Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system has also been updated to ensure a smooth transition. Same-sex couples can now register their marriages at any district office across Thailand.
