Just been on Channel 3 morning news show, a Thai wedding, - 10 million Baht sin sot & 40 Baht gold.

Young farang and his Surin girlfriend. Impressive wedding, groom riding on decorative elephant to the family home.

Perhaps I should have put this in the cheap charlie topic currently running.

Not sure he needs rich parents if i read the article correctly... He appears to be an exec from microsoft, who flew in for the wedding with his friends and family...from Australia..... maybe not so young at 42... just youngish...

I like the paper just names him as "Farang", priceless, but goes into great detail about the opulence of the ceremony.

I hit the translate button for one of the articles posted above and here is one line that came up, " Ms. rising sun amazing winners have to say that the bride is the eldest son of the family." cheesy.gif

Never understood, (or rather never previously bothered to find out), about this 40 baht gold thing.

Somebody kindly explain?

You go to the gold shop. You buy x baht of gold. (1 baht of gold costs around 24000 Baht. It is a unit of weight, like a carat) You give the gold to your new mother-in-law. That's about it.

Maybe Google translate knows a little more than what is published. giggle.gif

I can't believe these jealous opinions I bet from the Chang drinkers mainly.

If it doesn't hurt anyone and he wants to do this then let him.

I for one hope they are very happy together

whatever you think-write or say it doesn't detract from the fact that this man has travelled to a foreign country and handed over money for the privilege of marrying a co worker, surely that would be viewed as rather strange actions in the corporate world?

signed.... a Chang drinker jerk.gif

According to Best Beloved, who translated the news for me this morning, they had been work colleagues for a while.

Still I expect he bought her etc etc...

What a miserable bunch you are.
