💨 Abstract

Thailand's same-sex marriage equality law came into effect on Thursday, making it the first in Southeast Asia and third in Asia, following Taiwan and Nepal. Eligible couples over 18, regardless of nationality, can marry, and Thai nationals receive equal legal rights as heterosexual couples. Foreign nationals' rights depend on their immigration status, and same-sex marriage does not enable them to secure Thai citizenship.
