Thailand, as reported by Reuters, ranks as one of Asia's most LGBTQ-friendly nations. While legal support for same-sex marriages is still pending, many couples choose to wed without legal protection. Notably, in 2022, lawmakers took a significant step by introducing four bills related to same-sex unions following an initial reading, signaling a progressive shift in Thailand's stance on LGBTQ+ rights.
