Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Thailand has officially legalized same-sex marriage after the passage of the Marriage Equality Bill on September 24, 2024. The new law, now published in the Royal Gazette following approval from King Maha Vajiralongkorn, will allow same-sex couples to marry legally in the country.

This historic move makes Thailand the third nation in Asia, after Taiwan and Nepal, to recognize same-sex marriage.

The law will take effect in 120 days, meaning LGBTQ+ couples can begin registering their marriages in January 2025.

Bangkok Deputy Governor Sanon Wangsrangboon confirmed that the city is prepared to register same-sex marriages as soon as the law is enacted.

The bill was initially passed by Thailand’s House of Representatives in April 2024, followed by the Senate’s approval in June. It then required royal endorsement to become law, which it officially received this week.

The law changes the language in Thailand’s Civil and Commercial Code, replacing gender-specific terms like “man and woman” with more inclusive, gender-neutral terms such as “individuals.”

This legal milestone has been met with celebration from Thailand’s LGBTQ+ community, as it signifies a step forward in the region for equal rights and marriage equality.

Bangkok Pride organizers announced they will host weddings for couples looking to register their marriages on the first day the law comes into effect, turning it into a day of celebration and unity for the LGBTQ+ community.

With this legislative shift, Thailand continues to solidify its place as a leader in LGBTQ+ rights in Southeast Asia. The law is expected to have significant cultural and social impacts as it reinforces Thailand’s reputation as a progressive and inclusive nation.
