My Thai wife's son is dating a Thai lady and now she is talking marriage even though she has only known my wife's son for 3 months and my wife is saying that its going to cost half Million in total plus the dowry .

 

I know when i married my wife in Thailand it was really cheap, apparently you need to buy gold for the Thai Bride , The ceremony and a party plus other stuff.  They are both 30 years old and neither have been married or have children .

 

The family of the girlfriend have a business, So i guess they are up in the Thai status with both of their other daughters marrying businessmen 

 

Without really knowing the cost of a Thai Wedding , I just wonder if 500,000 Baht is about right . I believe that any dowry paid will be going back to the married Couple, That's if they do get married 

 

My wife is paying for wedding , So its nothing out of my pocket, But i don't want her getting ripped off , I question Why the GF hasn't been married before and why the rush, If it was me , I would run a mile  with talk of marriage so early on...   And no babies on the way yet LOL 

 

I guess if it was the UK , You would be talking a lot of money but Thailand is suppose to be cheap 

Sin sot and party costs usually reflects the status of the families – including the number of invited guest – so, you wife shall have good knowledge about it.

 

Average costs really depends on status; so, average cost in which level. A poor couple's wedding might be a very modest reception, where the money guests bring pays for it all and more (I've experienced that). Higher social level weddings might be with a guest list for hundreds – or even a thousand or more (I've also experienced that) – guests; so, we talk about several millions of baht. In that view, 500,000 baht is not out of range.

 

Dowry is a question of negotiation. Also, if part of the sin sot – or all of it – shall stay with the new married couple.

 

I'm not sure if "Thailand is cheap", especially not when it's higher social level weddings. I've been invited guest at four weddings in those levels, and they didn't appear cheap at all.

This is hilarious, the sky is the limit with Thai weddings.

Set the limit.

I think you can trust your Thai wife to not get ripped off. She knows the culture, after all. I'm sure she knows the appropriate cost of her son's wedding.

Errr... He says his wife is paying for the wedding. If she has her own money, what right does he have to interfere? Thai law does not require a man's approval for a woman to sign a contract any more.

        Errrr.... They are married he has every  right to comment on how his wife wants to squander money, I'm pretty sure my missis would have something to say if I returned from the casino 500,000 baht worse off, despite it being my money   What contract are you referring to?

For casual sex, I agree. Not as a wife though. The 2 virgins I had while I was 17-18 are still in contact with me, none of the others. It's just a complete difference. For non-virgins,. you are just another guy in the queue and can be replaced just like that

 

 

 

For non-virgins,. you are just another guy in the queue and can be replaced just like that    And you were 1st in the queue (at least that's what they told you)  and have also been replaced , "just like that"  twice.  You will always be the subject of their "biggest regret" 

And as for marrying a virgin, who on earth wants to marry a woman who naturally will be eternally curious as to what another man would be like, a curiosity that these days most women will not allow to remain unanswered

As far as I am concerned only people lacking in confidence, or those who are unfortunate enough to be  muslims, aspire to marry virgins in this day and age

Nah, it's facts and also good advice and that would be the standard for me. But you can obviously give your future wive who did the carousel more. Everybody's free in his decisions.

"would be the standard"  that implies that you are not yet married, it also indicates you have serious issues   Will you be subjecting any future potential wife to a medical examination ?  let us all know how that works out, I won't be holding my breath

For dowry:

 

Virgin: 1,000,000

Non-Virgin: 50,000

Non-Virgin with rich parents: Up to the rich parents to save face.

 

Party and wedding depends on the status of both families. If both family are rich/rich, then no limits. If the girls family's rich, then some behind closed door discussions should be made to save face for the new couple. If everybody is poor just get a 50,000 Mor Lam 'night event' and a lot of alcohol.

i million baht against 50,000 baht  either you have  just made that up or have been very, very  badly advised, And as for leaving anything up to "rich parents" you appear to be living in some sort of fantasy land. and have an unnatural fixation on virginity.  get some help while you can

Yup, you are correct about that in this society, females are allowed to do what they please! They can go and slut it up and nobody is stopping them

 

I would have married the first one but she was feminist and on birth control and had to go to the carousel. She came back later with a girl friend of hers for a threesome. She's still liking my instragram posts.

 

I would love to marry a 18 yo virgin girl. Imagine going for a 30 yo female who has made up her mind already, was on the carousel, can't be formed anymore and is basically just settling for you because she wasn't able to keep the millionaire with a 6 pack she hooked up with once.

What is it with you boomers that you always shift away from the argument and focus on the person behind the argument? Is that an IQ thing or what is wrong with you people?

Personally I find your posts very weird and your views regarding women  more than a little disturbing, 

What imaginary  argument are you referring to?

Women are indeed allowed to do as they please in most civilised  societies these days, normal people accept that, Women are also allowed to have sex too in case you had not noticed. normal people accept that too. You however appear uneasy about this. 

 

What do you mean about women who "can't be formed anymore"   you are a seriously messed up person

Howe could anybody comment on your opinion without criticising you personally , you are clearly a freak.  Have you ever been in trouble with the police regarding your views.    I seriously think you will be sooner rather than later,

Be careful what you write about this subject . It may come back to haunt you , as evidence

Based on experiences... I'd rather have a non virgin thanks. 

 

A million baht... WTF.  That would pay for how many non virgins in Pattaya? 

 

Unbelievable. 

 

 

 

 

You think non virgins are better in bed I presume. Why wouldn't you want to be the man who teaches her? You'd rather other men did that for your future wife?

Well, it's your 10th post trying to engage in a discussion with me and 9/10 you got ignored. 🤣

The issue I have with your posts and why I am usually ignoring them is because it's only half a sentence. But I am in a really good mood and have time to address all your questions now! Go head! 🙂

If you want respect for god you are asking the wrong guy,   Although I can well imagine you requesting his assistance the next time you attempt to "form a woman" whatever that worrying phrase means.

What?  Personally I don't really care or think about that if I'm thinking marriage or relationship. 

 

We aren't all perfect and if a woman already has experience, maybe she could teach me a thing or two. 

 

I certainly wouldn't be throwing big dollars just because of virginity. Way too much hype associated with that. 

 

I'm sure I could teach a few things too. 

 

I don't put $ values on sex and that's what virginity is, isn't it.
