as I posted earlier Samit tours do the bus from the bus station in Ubon near the big C. Once at the bus station in Mukdahan just get one of the tricycle tuk-tuk's to the river, should be about 30 baht. It's then 50 baht for the boat across the river to Savannakhet. I stayed in Savannakhet a couple of times but sorry forget the name of the place. The last couple of times I went, I did it in one day, got the first bus from Ubon after booking the day before. Picked up passport at 3 and made the last bus back to Ubon.

the last boat from Savannakhet across to Mukhdahan is at about 1630 if I remember right and if you are going backdown to Ubon by bus you should make it in time for the last aircon bus of the day. Samit tours are the company

I have got a non-ed from there before and it was a same day process, applied 9 in morning and picked up passport at 3pm

A dowry is an antiquated (sp) con that Thai families still try and pull under the guise of "culture" to see if the farang will fall for it.  Most guys do fall for it still.

My MIL didn't insist on any dowery as she knew it didn't go over well in my culture (we did a token offering at the ceremony). Her Thai son-in-laws were not so lucky.

It's something that was going on years before any farung even got here so your explanation doesn't wash.

yes and is a way of showing the respect for the bride and family from the groom. So all those who refuse to pay come across as having no respect for the bride or her family in the eyes of any Thai.

Sin City is out now in Bangkok isn't it?  Frank Miller has influenced a couple of movies this year it seems, let's hope they are true to his writing.

I went to the movies today, Sin City is not out at the theatre, and has not been out as far so far. I don't think its coming unless the censors are just taking a long time to hack it apart.

It comes out next week I think!

Try to read between the lines. I think Turok has a really good point here. You can marry a rich girl that will take care of you, financially, instead of you taking care of her. You are probably likely to get some crap from a situation of marrying a poor Thai girl. And even if you would not get crap, you are probably better off marrying rich.

No judgment here. But, women have been doing this for thousands of years. Who would not want to marry rich?

I think that thinking that money is not a factor in a girls decision to be with you is very naive.

Marrying a rich girl:- does that mean having to do as she desires all the time, as she has the purse strings and is used to getting her own way? I'm sure it wears thin having to be at someones beck and call because they have the clout, "money".

Unless you look like Tom Cruise or carry the same size tackle as the last winner of the Derby, your chances of pulling the rich ladies, to which you allude, will be few and far between. Ladies that have money are invariably not into sharing it. They will be looking to someone who can add to the nest egg, not deplete it.

If money is what you guys want why don't you get off your ar#s' and go and earn it, have some pride in yourself be a man not someone poncing of a woman, who will drop you when she wants to move on to pastures new, believe you me.

So come on "Fire" and "Turok" where are all these rich women at, you know the ones going out of their way to throw themselves under you whilst at the same time stuffing the Amex black card in your back pocket?

At least the people who have gone on to marry their Thai girls have had the b#lls to do something concrete with their lives. What have you done, nothing, just spout off about the pipe dream of marrying a rich girl.

I have met a GTG who is Uni educated, works for the Government and is a fully qualified Vet with her own clinic......

She said to me once....I could not marry a man who earns less money than I do....says it all about financially independant Thai girls.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It says it all about one girl you happened to meet, not about every financially independent Thai girl!
