Scott Tracy Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 A dowry is provided by a bride, according to Wiki, Merriam-Webster and the Cambridge English Dictionary. Perhaps posters here have the wrong idea. I cannot confirm from the text in the article, but perhaps her family provide the 2,000,000 cash and 5 baht of gold as a dowry, not the groom. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Not sure what you are reading. The dude pays the dowry flat and simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be 2 baht in cash a decade ago IIRC. Second hand bride market mimics the second hand car market... But seriously, things would get better if Farang grooms started to ignore any request for dowry. We shouldn't be seen as substitutes for the Thai deliquescent old age pension.
