Will be at a nearby hotel for Christmas brunch. As they have Thai & asian dishes, plus a seafood bar, she will be happy. It also gives us a reason to dress up a bit. Looking forward to it.

Same as last year, nothing.

She is a Bhuddist.

What would be a nice little gift for our Thai friends boys aged 11 and 14 yo? Humble kids from the countryside? 

I give mine the 23K gold that is in Bangkok at Chinatown. If she needs something and the price of gold is up she’ll sell it. Til then she just holds onto it. 

I bought her a Diptych candle. $100, Oud scent.

 

Once you try Diptych, you can never go back to a cheap candle. She already has two Diptychs on the go. 

Nothing. I don't celebrate Christmas.

A new scooter if santa hurrys up the Honda production line 🤔

Spouse and I are thinkng about giving each other watches.

Bought her a new Honda scooter & bought myself a Honda ADV 350. :)

 

Merry Xmas all.

I gave Go Kart experience to 3 gf's brothers boys and they loved it! Ages 7 to 14.

I'm not 100% sure but it may have been EasyKart at Bali hai pier track, gf bought the gift cards.

She was not happy.

Even if 40% thai families have to manage eith that amount ir less monthly.

I have never in my life been given a months salary as a gift... :-)

 

 

Many Thais celebrate any and all holidays. It is just a part of their fun loving spirit. Any excuse for a party, or some good times. 

I'm giving everyday, 365 days. Perhaps Christmas will be my day off.

Same every Christmas it's the thought that counts 🥳

"What will you be giving the Wife or Partner for Christmas?"

 

not a penny! as far as i'm concerned, x-mas is a day like any other.

Humbug

The 'nothing...I'm atheist in a buddhist country' type comments just highlight what miserable old farts some people are. 

 

 

I see my Wife exchange loads of gifts with her Thai friends - loads of Thai's take part in and go along with a festive celebration - I think a lot of it will depend upon where in the country you are and how 'international' your significant other is. 

 

Loads of Wife's friends, educated overseas, kids at international schools etc so they go along with the 'international celebration' they have Christmas tree's up  & decorations in their houses etc

 

I don't see it as a religious celebration - I think those that do are just looking for any excuse to justify being miserable farts. 

 

 

What will my Wife get ??...   loads of nice little gifts that she'll enjoy & we'll spend Christmas in the UK with family as we do every year. 

 

 

 

 

Don't celebrate xmas, but every freakin' day of the year is like her birthday or a kids xmas...so not a damn thing. Will give her a tidy sum for New Years tho❗🤣 She definitely deserves it too. 

Ten day beach holiday

A bag of Salt Peter and some Birth Control Pills!

 

Jimmy Choo Perfume 

Shoes.

Big party with the family at my home 

in the Moobann Maa!

The same thing she has given me every year. Not a damm thing. I figured that out 3 Christmases into the relationship.

A new mop and bucket, she's nearly worn out the old one. If I'm feeling generous, maybe a pair of work gloves to wear while she's mowing the lawn.

 

Should have told me earlier. Bought the wife one a few years ago and it's still as good as new. Looking for a good home.

If I had a wife, ....

 

I would give her a 65-foot sailboat.

NOT a cheap one, either.

 

And then, we would just cruise the world.

 

And, maybe we would visit the Sand Island, the one I have read about.

 

 

 

 

You all probably would not believe me but here goes. Wife always complaining she has no boobs and wants to have a doctor make her fake boobs... So I bought her detachable fake silicon boobs and a butt plug sitting under the tree. Because we have 3 little kids it will serve as a nice joke because she is always complaining about the size of her boobs in front of them. Although the butt plug will be a private gift. Also got her an electric automatic curler for her hair. A dish set, a family sized tent, air beds, power generator, mini air conditioner for use in tents and all that is needed to cook and be comfortable outdoors for camping since she had mentioned wanting to start doing this with our kids. Then there are lots of new Korean fashion designer clothes and a few other small things. 

Made our kids use their own money to buy her some clothes and jewelry and make-up

Hmmmm... Monday December 25, 2023, same as Monday December 18, 2023, normal work day. Pretty sure I won't get anything beyond my normal salary for the day. TIT
