Civil Union in A Muang

[MamaSan]

'Just wanted to acknowledge an exceptionally good experience in registering our same-sex civil union at the Amphur Muang Office earlier today.  We walked in at 8.30 (sans appointment), presented our very complete paperwork and despite the fact there was a single officer to man the desks, we walked out around 2 hours later all sorted.  From start to finish, everything was efficient and incredibly painless.  Still stunned - kudos to the brilliant staff!

Is there a list of the required documents somewhere?

I used the one here

Feel free to DM me if you'd like some specific tips - good luck!

Given that Thailand doesn't do same-sex civil unions, I'd love to know how you got one. What you likely did do, however, is get married - proper, full marriage, which is what is legal in Thailand for same-sex couples.

Thanks for the correction - 'had no idea there was a difference!
