For years, Thailand has been a dream destination for LGBTQ+ weddings, offering breathtaking locations and a culture that celebrates love in all its forms. But until now, same-sex couples could only have symbolic ceremonies here—legal marriage wasn’t an option. That’s all changed!
As of 23rd January 2025, Thailand has officially legalised same-sex marriage, becoming the first country in Southeast Asia to do so. This historic step means LGBTQ+ couples can now say "I do" in Thailand with full legal recognition.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you’ve been dreaming of a destination wedding in Thailand, this news makes it even more magical. You’re no longer limited to just a symbolic ceremony—your marriage will be legally binding.
That means:
💍 Full marriage rights – You and your partner will have the same legal protections as any other married couple.
💼 Legal recognition abroad – Depending on your home country’s laws, your Thai marriage certificate could be valid internationally.
💖 Inclusivity at its best – Thailand has long been known for its welcoming attitude towards the LGBTQ+ community, and now the law reflects that spirit.
Planning Your Wedding in Thailand
With this new law in place, same-sex couples can legally wed anywhere in Thailand, from Bangkok cityscapes to Phuket’s stunning beaches. But if you’re looking for something truly special, Koh Samui is where the magic happens.
At Weddings on Samui, we’ve always believed in love without limits. Now, we can officially help same-sex couples plan weddings that are not just beautiful, but legally recognised. Whether it’s an intimate elopement on a secluded beach or a grand celebration with loved ones, your wedding can now be everything you’ve ever dreamed of—in every sense.
The Next Steps
While this law is a huge step forward, some legal aspects are still evolving. For example, Thailand’s surrogacy laws currently don’t extend to same-sex couples, and gender identity laws still need work, but this milestone is just the beginning, and the future looks bright.
If you’re ready to start planning your wedding in Thailand, we’d love to help you celebrate this new era of love and equality. Because love is love, and now, in Thailand, it’s the law.
