Greg interviews our senior legal correspondent Dave Lawrence on the status of marriage equality in Thailand. Listeners may remember that the Thai parliament passed a same-sex marriage bill last year, and it has jumped through a few more hoops and is ALMOST in effect. Dave explains that on January 22, 2025, should be the magic date when marriage between two adults of either gender should be 100% legal and legit.  The guys run through a bunch of different topics, ranging from the history of marriage in Thailand to immigration and nationality, divorce, adoption and IVF. Perhaps not surprisingly, a change such as allowing adults of the same gender to get married has ramifications in many other areas of the law, all details that need to be ironed out in the coming months and years.  Greg and Dave conclude by noting the historic significance of this change in the law in Thailand as Asia in general is considered conservative when it comes to gender and sexuality. There is something unique about Thai culture however that allows it to be more progressive in at least some respects.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

For the fifth time since July, HPR All Things Considered host Dave Lawrence remembers a guest - this time Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, who a week ago it was announced had died at 84. Phil was a guest twice over the years relatively early in Dave's career: 2001 in Boston and 2005 here in Honolulu. Topics included Phil's philanthropic side; the 1978 Grateful Dead concerts in Egypt at the pyramids; the historic camping and vending scene that dead fans created and its conclusion in 1989; and Phil's own connection to the value of music education in schools.

Greg and Ed interview Dave Lawrence of Pegleg Legal about the technicalities of divorce in Thailand. Although Ed previously discussed his big ‘D' on an earlier show, his situation was so simple that it's probably not representative of the typical divorce. Dave begins with his process for new clients. First, he asks if the marriage was registered in Thailand. Many ‘couples' actually never get legally married in Thailand, which of course changes your legal rights. Second, he asks if the couple has any children. As one would expect, kids tend to significantly complicate matters. However, Dave makes clear if a couple is not legally married, then the mother automatically becomes the sole custodian of the child, and the biological father has no automatic rights.  Next, Ed asks Dave about ‘common law' marriage, the idea that a couple can be deemed legally married just by living together for a certain number of years, but it turns out that concept doesn't exist under Thai law. If it ain't on paper, it ain't real, at least in Thailand. The guys continue peppering Dave with various marriage and divorce scenarios, including what property is considered ‘marital property' subject to division and how child custody is handled by biological fathers who have a properly registered marriage.  The topic isn't exactly rosy, but the big ‘D' is something that we are all better off knowing something about.  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.
