I am waiting to see how this will affect laws concerning marriage between foreign men and Thai women. At present, a foreign man married to a Thai woman must have 400,000 baht in a Thai bank in his own name in order to receive a spousal visa and continue to extend it yearly. A Thai man married to a foreign woman does not have to show any financial requirements. This is not equality. Will there be any financial requirements for same sex couples, or will the same rules apply for a Thai man married to a foreign man? Will there actually be real marriage equality for all regardless of the sex of a person's spouse? Hopefully, real marriage equality be the result.
