gmac Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Go marry an Indian girl, the family has to pay you. Don't know anything about Indian girls and traditions but it certainly occurred to me that tradition in the UK is that the brides family pays for the wedding. Just because tradition is the other way round here in Thailand I see no reason why a foreigner should have to follow (pay for) it. Just tell the family that they should be stumping up for the wedding, not the other way round, and check out the reaction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nio Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The OP starts a post, 4000 others chime in and the OP is never heard from again? So who exactly are you given all this free advice to or did you not realize the OP has never returned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I typically imagine I am addressing parliament or alternatively in one of those ad-trucks blasting info through 10-15 woofers and tweeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 As for the people who say you can get the price down a bit, Thats rubbish. Rubbish you say. When the marriage subject came up between me and my missus I asked her straight up, how much your mama want for sinsod, she got on the phone and asked, 300,000 was the reply. I left it at that, next time we was up in the village her mama was asking when we were getting married,I replied never, as there was no way in hel_l i was paying 300k for sinsod,Mama replied ok no probs, you no pay, but when are you getting married......... for what its worth, im 36 and my missus is 22 we have been together for two yrs and im about 99.9% sure has not got a Thai husband/boyfriend.

The OP is probably to busy making trips down to his local western union. It has to be a troll, honestly can anyone be that stupid? 200,000 baht for spending 10 days with a girl, 20,000 baht a day....

So in other words your girlfriend was the one who tried to mug you out of 300,000 baht and not her family! classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassienie Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Don’t you guys get it? This newbie is a troll. He creates several new ThaiVisa memberships within a month; throws in the bait, hoping everyone will bite, than disappears into obscurity. Over the months I have become to recognise his format, mostly the same themes just that he changes the situation slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 i think a fair bit of advice has been given, lots of views shared, some useful, some not quite and given that the subject of sinsod has been done several times, Im going to suggest that if the OP needs further constructive discussions on the issue, to do some search on the forum, read the pinned thread - which in my opinion has a few more realistic advice. im closing this one good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
