Same-sex couples, including non-Thais, can now register their marriages in Thailand, regardless of their home country’s laws on same-sex marriage.

The Civil and Commercial Code has been updated to replace gendered terms such as "men and women" and "husband and wife" with gender-neutral terms like "individuals" and "spouses." This ensures all couples, regardless of gender, are treated equally under the law.

Same-sex couples are now legally recognised with the same status as heterosexual couples. This means same-sex marriages are treated no differently in the eyes of the law, offering full equality and validation of LGBTQ+ relationships.

Adoption rights are now equal: Same-sex couples can jointly adopt children, just like heterosexual couples. This removes legal barriers and will allow all Thais to build loving families for themselves.

Same-sex couples now have access to IVF (in vitro fertilisation) and other reproductive technologies. On top of adoption, LGBTQ+ couples can now grow their families through modern medical means.

Couples are now able to create prenuptial agreements to determine how property and assets will be divided in the event of divorce. This is an essential legal tool for protecting both partners’ financial rights and interests.

Assets and property acquired during the marriage are automatically declared joint property (referred to as “Sin Somros”). If no prenuptial agreement exists, these assets are divided equally in the event of divorce, just as with heterosexual couples.

Joint responsibility for debts: Debts incurred during the marriage are now legally shared by both partners, ensuring fairness and equality in financial accountability within the relationship.

Same-sex spouses can now make medical decisions on each other’s behalf in the event that one partner becomes incapacitated. This ensures LGBTQ+ couples are not excluded during critical moments in healthcare decisions. (A recent Thai movie, The Paradise of Thorns depicted this, where the same-sex partner was unable to sign and proceed with a critical surgery because he's not legally recognised as his spouse and the only family member didn't manage to make it in time, causing his death. Furthermore, their property automatically goes to the deceased's mother instead of the partner after his untimely death.)

LGBTQ+ couples are now entitled to social security benefits, spousal pensions, and tax deductions just like heterosexual couples. Financial and retirement benefits are now fully equal for all married couples.
