So you are meeting your potential in-laws for the first time, what do you get for the family besides paying for the dinner ? Upper middle class, retired and elder sister ...indidvidual gifts or suggestions ?

Something from your home country would be nice. I only got something for my mil and fil, that's enough.

Johnny Walker for dad, Fossil watch for the younger sis, I forgot what I got for mom. I think Lancome something. Nothing was required; it was just a nice gesture. They loved the gifts. After some whiskey & karaoke, no more questions about my intentions with their daughter (we've been married now for 5 years.)

On the g/f advice, nothing, the family invited me for a meal and paid for it.

That is the norm in LOS, if a Thai asks you out, they pay, if you ask out, you pay. If this is not the case with any of you there could be the farang ATM thing involved. sad.png

I never met my inlaw(s)...

You can't beat that...!laugh.png

Are you joking that your wife's parents are no longer living? Or that they do not care enough about their daughter to attend her wedding?

Either way, sounds sad.

For the first meeting just take a nice fruit basket and find out what imported whiskey or scotch the father likes and buy a bottle for him. This is Thai custom.
