Abstract	This paper examines the evolution of representation of LGBTQIA+ people through the prism of the modern Thai series Tonhon Chonlatee,etc as well as older works. In terms of changes in societal acceptance in Thailand, struggles faced, and other nuances, Thai dramas like Tonhon Chonlatee offer a much more positive and articulate representation of LGBTQIA+ relationships. This study sets off to explain how the narratives serve as evidence of such changes in societal attitudes of the people towards the LGBTQIA+ community. This paper also draws attention to the importance of media and art in combating such stereotypes such as gender identity within the context of the society we live in.
