Cool! Although I'm surprised at such overwhelming support, isn't this a pretty conservative and authoritarian country?

Conservatives across the world aren't a unified group. In particular, not all are opposed to homosexuality. So Thailand does have a very authoritarian government, but they are also quite LGBT friendly.
