North to Alaska

Keep your eye out for an Eskimo

No sinsod in that society

ESKIMO WEDDING TRADITIONS: The groom’s family must pool their resources and come up with a whole houseful of wedding gifts, including things like hunting rifles, sealskins, appliances, loaves of bread, and other practical items useful for life and basic survival on the Yupiks’ home, a cold, barren, treeless island.

Really? Cold barren treeless island, wacking baby seals...maybe! But give a wife a hunting rifle? You bummbed your head.

She's already home i'm moving north and changing my everything.

THANKS EVERYONE !!!!

60 + Rai (rai?) in Kamphaeng Phet. Maybe i can grow bannana leaves and make hats, but i read in this site farangs are not allowed to make hats. What are there going to do send me to the cambodian front?

I've been reading all the posts and across the board i understand i cant read the thai language but I do know how to play poker. My wife told me her father dose not need money, hes a nice man, and we'll be getting lots of land. I would rather have the Brooklin Bridge or the Windsor Gates. What are my kids goimg to do with thai- land? They are american. The cost to sell this land (flights, lawers,taxes, getting sold short) is i' sure more of a headache then profit. I have no problem visiting but to see land, dirt. There also seems to be an outstanding college debt she still owes. I thought thai massages were a good thing.

Why do i need a new toliet? Is there a sanatation issue there? I must be reading the wrong books.

I'm thinking the answer to my question lays within the thai culture itself. If the custom for a thai man is to have more than one wife an several girlfriends on the side, then i will simply explain to my new father that i must share the wealth across the board. Laying all my eggs in one basket is not a good investment. Showing him i am always thinking of the future may help him love me more. Do thai's have guns or just sticks and rocks?

I t seems i should say no, run or buy the family another house. Either way i'll always be an outsider never understanding whats going on. I just want to watch the super bowl in quiet. The NFL has rules, slow motion and replay.

Maybe i am not online alot and dont understand the forum rules. Right now the only thing i know is my wife is in Thailand crying, her dad is stuborn and her mom wants to have a wedding. If the older thai women are responsible for negotiating why am i dealing with the dad?

I apologise, this is my first post and i didnt know how to physically respond. I appreciate all responses even thoose a bit off. My hair is not green and i dont have meth eyes, im not a troll. this is her first marriage and she is a good wife, mother to my children and daughter. My wife and i are crazy and we did disrespect her family. i was just looking for help with how to negotiate and save face for everyone.

I'm in trouble! I married a thai woman (38yrs) i'm 48, in the states several years ago. Her parents dont know, not good, now she wants a traditional thai wedding in thailad. No problem until her father askd for 1,250,000bht and 10bht gold. I ned to finnish paying for my three childrens college and my daughtrs wedding which will not cost half this amount. How do I negotiate to not be cheap but not be stupid. Meeting inlaws soon. My wife, oops, this is secret, is a teacher at a university and gives most of her money to her parents along with health care.
