LGBTQ+ couples can now seek mortgages from Government Housing Bank

[snoop1130]

 

Thailand’s Government Housing Bank (GHB) has taken a major step in recognising gender equality by allowing LGBTQ+ couples to apply for mortgages on the same basis as heterosexual couples or family members.

 

According to the bank, the launch of this new service is intended to help such people own a house unit or condo in their own right.

 

The GSB has also launched a new housing loan product, called “My Pride”, under which borrowers will be charged interest at Minimum Retail Rate (MRR) -2.40% for the first three years, which is equal to 3.75% per annum, based on the bank’s MRR rate of 6.15%.

No it isn't.

Civil partnerships probably so.

Presumably this is Thai couples only as foreigners cant own property other than designated condos.
