I paid roughly 200,000 baht in cash and 200,000 baht in gold for my 32 year old Thai nurse wife. We also allowed her family to keep the monies provided as wedding gifts, looked like another 200,000 baht. At the time my wife said her mother told her she would return the cash when we settled in Thailand and that is exactly what she did recently when we purchased land in northern Thailand. I'd described the family as low middle class, once dirt poor and living in a truck till my wife was five, now reasonably comfortable as a fish farmer and shopkeeper in a rural area near Bangkok.
