ABSTRACT

In this paper, the study of forms and procedures for driving the bill of the same-sex marriage in Thailand was presented. This study was conducted to investigate the law activities on the welfare benefits from marriage registration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. This study was a qualitative research focusing on the possibility of adopting such a concept in Thai society. The key informants in this study were 25 people who played the important roles in the public, such as politicians, academics, human rights activists, physicians, and LGBT people. The data were analyzed and compared to reveal the findings that these activities were to promote legal change by peaceful means in a national level and that there was a high possibility to enforce this law in Thailand which custom, religious, and traditional contexts would significantly affect this law.
