candide Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I don't know the price of buffalos but a $1500 dowry is quite reasonnable. I understand the girl is worried if he cannot afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricku Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 This was painful to watch on so many levels. But it also makes me appreciate my gf even more. No "cultural" gold digging BS from her, nor her parents. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of your post that I cut off is very contradictory with this very paragraph on so many levels. Like someone said.... save if for the Guardian It is easy to philosophize from Thailand where many women live in absolute poverty and have no other choice. Women with money in Thailand will certainly not settle for someone like yourself. Just a bit of honesty here..... ok? You confirmed my theory. Most live in a constant state of denial.

When there is a big need or even a divorce, the money can go to the bride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileydude Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 All she talks about is money and "support me" etc. Bad sign from the start. Loneliness can really distort ones common sense I guess. Then again it sounds more like a business negotiation/haggling then getting married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracas Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 It is a good thing that David came along and laid claim to this young lady (although I don't understand why). It means that there will be one less in the minefield for the next guy to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T580 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Terrible thing to say. After WWII, my parents married basically on shoestring budget, worked hard and accumulated a reasonably healthy "fortune' over the years. The question is: "Why do young people today expect the same things now which their parents worked a lifetime to acquire?" If a person wants 11 baht [weight] of gold, then go work and save for it! NO, can't do that! It's all got to be NOW! NOW! now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetpeter Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 a dowry is only paid for first marriage, if she has been married before or has kids, then she is used goods, has had the money. My wife of 16 years stated that to me when we first got together, In fact, she decided that we go to the UK to get married then there would be no gossip, or pressure to show the villagers money. Her decisions and has she stated she doesn't need to show off with gold dripping around her neck, arms or fingers. If fact she once sold her gold to pay towards for my heart stent, 8 years ago. In fact she is prouder of her car "swift" which is worth alot more than several baht of gold round her neck. Because it gives freedom, instead of sitting on the back of a motorbike.

My wife played this drama for me on YouTube a few month's back. The truth is David's friend paid for everything, and he's had enough. His friend's wife is also very upset because David and his Thai girl were staying with them and she wasn't even consulted. It's also extremely obvious that the 24 years old "bar singer" has absolutely no interest in him whatsoever. She has a very caustic personality.

Sad to say but a lot of white trash come to Thailand! Yes, that's these guys young and old who come to Thailand, mainly Pattaya, and walk about the streets bare chested, big bellied, and showing boobs. No shame at all.

Because where there is no water buffalo no water buffalo can get seriously sick ... Great events seem to throw their shadows ahead ... Maybe he will get the water buffalos back along with the dowry.
