Neeranam Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have been to Thai weddings that have cost less than 10,000 Baht. Most expensive about 100,0000 and that was 2 parties, one daytime with the actual ceremony and then another in the evening with singers and dancers.An up country Mor Lum show costs about 12 to 18,000 Baht. Most Thai marriages, family and friends prepare the food, so reduces costs. 300,000 Baht ??? if 300 guests that would be 1000 Baht per head. That would be some party I think you'll find that many guys paying that much, unless it's top hotel, are getting fleeced. They probably haven't been in Thailand long.

Or it's their first wedding,and they would like it to be memorable.I rather enjoyed my wedding,although it was a bit long and darn hot...Plus the fact that the wife has worked a government job for a long time,so she would lose face if she did not invite all her colleagues and friends.

Neeranam Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 A typical village marriage will cost about 50,000 to 150,000. A typical city wedding will start at twice that & go up from there. A good wedding in Khon Kaen city costs a lot less that 300,000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
