As Thailand’s long-awaited equal marriage law comes into effect on Thursday, police officer Pisit “Kew” Sirihirunchai hopes to be the first in line to marry his long-term partner Chanatip “Jane” Sirihirunchai.
Some 180 same-sex couples are registering their unions at one of Bangkok’s grandest shopping malls, in an event city officials helped organise to celebrate this legal milestone.
“We have been ready for such a long time,” Pisit says. “We have just been waiting for the law to catch up and support us.”
