Ben Zioner Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) @transam ("She was married before....?") Nope. But I didn't say I didn't give any money to her parents who needed it. No wedding, but now they live in a nice house and have two beautiful grand daughters. Edited September 13, 2023 by Ben Zioner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should a farangy be any different....... Maybe he decided to stick with American traditions. I stick with my own traditions regardless of where I am, they keep reminding us that we're not Thai - well this is a perfect example of that. Not thai - don't care for their nonsense customs and traditions. Doesn't this fall under the people trafficking laws?

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted September 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2023 I have no kids and obviously there is no daughter who wants to marry. But if I would have a daughter then obviously I would want that when she marries that she marries a guy who makes her happy and who wants to stay with her longtime. Would I want that she marries somebody who does not even have 1m THB (28k USD)? I think a foreigner who wants to live in Thailand long term and who wants a family should have that money. Obviously there are still lots of things which can go wrong. But a first barrier, like, is that guy willing to pay 1m for our daughter, is maybe in the best interest of the daughter. 1 1 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm being generous ???? Maybe if you would have had to pay 1m for the bride you would have thought twice if you really want to stay with her long time. And maybe, if you paid that money already, you would put more effort into keeping that marriage. I was never married, so my observations are just theory. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is the love of his life and if he thinks the parents do it to protect their daughter, then I think 1m is not too much. Most cars cost more than that... Speaking of cars ........ hey, why not offer a reasonable downpayment. Then , after an agreed upon time..let's say 3 months , if the couple are running smoothly, an installment plan can begun . Maybe the standard 15 k a month . It would be wise if there is also an understanding that if the "car" is not performing well the buyer can then stop payments . Payments already made are non-refundable . And........... parents can come pick up their property . note: outraged readers can be assured that this is just..................................................... a joke 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically (not), it's the demand for a 1 million THB dowry (which the parents who own a "shipping company" don't need) that is going to cause her abandonment now - not "eventually." "Love for $28,000+." TIT. You can buy a lot of love and affection in Thailand for 1,000,000 THB and never have to deal with anyone's parents. Not that 99% of Reddit users would understand.

I went to marriage office in Banrak and I did'n have to show anything. Never had any of those bull<deleted> weddings. We are still happy after nearly 15 years. The display of "sinsod" money, in cases where this is done, does not take place at the "marriage office", ie the district office, but at a private party some days prior to the marriage registration at the district office. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he's in his 20s or early 30s (Reddit users). All the parent are going to accomplish is to make their daughter into a bitter spinster. What's her chances of finding a Thai guy whose parents are going to kick in 1 million large for a dowry? Slim to none.
