I suppose the stories that we farangs have to tell about sĭn-sòt tong mân are legion. In my own case I keep feeling that I am taking part in the production of some medieval morality play. Wealthy old foreign prince comes to land of beautiful female peasants to seek nubile young bride to take care of his every need. To test the prince's good intentions the family of his chosen one exact a price for their gift which will definitely hurt the prince's sense of material complacency and at the same time display to the other peasant families that they (and their beautiful nubile daughter) have scored a great achievement. That's the basic plot, but it's up to us all to be playwriters as well as the central characters. The script of version of the play involving my Thai lady, her family and myself is still being written and has already undergone a series of major revisions in the past eight months since we all met. Only time will tell whether it is ever performed.
