Thailand marriage equality law takes effect
Country is first in Southeast Asia to allow same-sex couples to marry
A law that extends marriage rights to same-sex couples in Thailand took effect on Thursday.
Media reports indicate hundreds of same-sex couples tied the knot across the country once the law took effect. The Bangkok Post reported Bangkok Pride and authorities in the Thai capital organized a mass wedding that took place at a shopping mall.
“Today, the rainbow flag is proudly flying over Thailand,” said Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra on X.
Thai lawmakers last year approved the marriage equality bill. King Maha Vajiralongkorn signed it last September.
Thailand is the first country in Southeast Asia to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples.
Same-sex couples can legally marry in Taiwan and Nepal.
