Thailand Celebrates as Same-Sex Marriage Becomes Legal with Vibrant Mass Weddings Across the Nation

In a historic milestone, more than a thousand LGBTQ couples across Thailand are tying the knot as same-sex unions officially become legal.

One of the largest celebrations is taking place at Siam Paragon, a luxury mall in central Bangkok, where over 100 couples exchanged vows in a joyous riot of color. This monumental event follows the enactment of the law on Thursday, which comes after years of tireless advocacy that one activist described as “a long fight full of tears.”

The new law grants LGBTQ couples equal rights in areas such as asset management, inheritance, adoption, and decision-making in medical matters for their partners.

However, activists emphasize that there is still work to be done, as many of Thailand’s laws remain non-gender-neutral.

Bangkok’s governor, Chadchart Sittipunt, who attended the mass wedding, described the day as a landmark moment for the country. “I think it reflects an inclusive society, not just in terms of marriage, but also in our beliefs, cultures, and religion,” he told the BBC. “We embrace everyone who’s different.”

As Thailand celebrates this progressive step toward equality, the LGBTQ community continues to push for further changes to ensure full inclusivity and fairness under the law.
