The government passed the relevant law last year. Activists had been fighting for legalization for around 20 years. Thailand, which is considered extremely liberal, is the first country in Southeast Asia to allow same-sex marriages. Before Thailand, only Taiwan and Nepal had legalized "marriage for all" in the whole of Asia. It has been legal in Germany since 2017.
