Kingdom a pioneer in advancing LGBTQ+ rights
Bangkok Post
|December 25, 2025
Jan 23 marked a historic milestone for Thailand as the Marriage Equality Act, formally known as the Civil and Commercial Code Amendment (No. 24) BE 2567, officially came into effect.
-
It has been hailed as a watershed achievement in human rights and gender equality, granting all couples, regardless of gender, the right to legally register their marriages, thus reshaping the nation's legal, economic, and cultural landscape.
The story became a nationwide sensation and the talk of the town. Newspapers and other media outlets ran bold headlines across every front page that day.
This is the first time Thailand has enforced such a law, after years of debate. Thailand has now become the third country in Asia to do so, following Taiwan and Nepal, and the 37th country worldwide to recognise marriage equality.
The kingdom continues to support this global movement, envisioning a world where all love is considered equal, and every individual can live with pride and dignity.
The Act was published in the Royal Gazette in September last year, with a 120-day period for government agencies to adjust regulations accordingly.
