Around 300 same-sex lovers are anticipated to tie the knot in Bangkok on January 23 when the landmark marriage justice law becomes law.

The BMA is active preparing for the big time. Sanon Wangsrangboon, the lieutenant governor of Bangkok, has taken a tour of the city offices to check on how the marriage registrations are progressing. &nbsp,

District officers have received training on how to teach people the required procedures and methods.

He called on couples to fill out Marriage Equality Bill, making Thailand the next nation or country in Asia to recognize same-sex unions, and it was published in the Royal Gazette on September 24, 2013.
