TLDR : Answer Summary

Thailand does not recognize same-sex marriage for the purposes of obtaining a dependent visa. Comments from the community indicate that the situation remains unchanged, with recent court rulings affirming this stance, leaving the LGBT community dissatisfied with the current legal framework.
