Expenses required for the funeral's 100th day process

[vaicrazy]

My kid's 100th day funeral process is coming soon.   My wife side has arranged for the ceremony to be combined with another 14 families.   I have already paid 50,000 bht for our family share, to the organiser running the ceremony.

 

Anyone knows what other expenses that I would be incurring?  my wife says need to buy rice, candles, etc...but refuses to give me a ball park figure.  

 

Is 10,000 bht sufficient in these current times?

Gonna be a a great party for 700K.

I would think the 50 is enough unless Hiso.

My FIL 100 day comes up next month and it will be a close family affair and it certainly won't cost more than 10,000 baht for about a dozen of us including temple fees, a monk and a boat on the Bang Pakong river. That is if it goes to roughly the same plan as my MIL 100 day a couple of years ago.

 

The family organised it themselves and after the ceremony we all went off to lunch and that didn't cost more than a couple of thousand including beer and whisky.

Yes and probably more than enough.

14 families x 50,000(1 share) = 700K

It's your kids 100 days. Should a few thousand baht worry you?

Yes, perhaps. It might be the reason why the OP has posted here. Please do not make him/ her feel uncomfortable. 

 

   Money isn't something that grows on trees, with all respect to traditions and his kids' 100 days celebration.

That is a bit of a stretch to assume everybody chipped in 50k baht. I am certain they didn't.

100 day party fourteen years ago in Central Thailand, music, actors, food, booze, about 100 people, 40k, anything over 75k and somebody's skimming.
