The Thai Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill June 18 that will extend marriage rights to same-sex couples.
The measure passed by a 152-130 vote margin with four senators voting against it and 18 abstaining. The Thai House of Representatives in April approved the marriage equality bill, with 400 of 415 lawmakers who participated in the vote backing it.
Taiwan and Nepal are the two other Asian jurisdictions that allow same-sex couples to legally marry.
