tomross46 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 It is not unusual for the children of wealthy family to have an arranged married. Look at the history of Europe. I just wish the couple happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUAHIN62 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 In the Thai elite circles many if not most marriages are still arranged between the parents. Do any of you think Prince William would have married Kate if the queen disapproved of her? Same same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred B Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Isn't the marriage of powerful families from different countries a relic of feudal societies? Yes, it persists today with these examples of elite Sinai-Thai/Sino-Cambo families. Another tradition, though, isn't being followed from these relic practices. The bride has an older sister that remains unmarried. Chinnicha Wongsawat was the disqualified MP that lied about assets, should have been married off first. It seems that even despite these old traditions, Chinnicha's lack of looks, had her younger sister leap-frogging over her to the altar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred B Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 So is this a sin sot or a dowry situation? Wonder how many zeroes, either way? The Cambodian father providing sin sot for his son, is in charge of the Sieng Nam City investment project with US$500 million invested from multiple sources. Calculator broke, so not sure just how many zeros of Cambodian riel that is equivalent to, but I think it's high. (US$1 = 3,985 riel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRONGOH Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Judging by the picture, the bride must have extreme biting power, just like her mum. Is Thaksin coming to the wedding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another aspect, there aren't many around who really would fancy living with the older sister that inherited an extra helping of her mother's dinner-time DNA when compared to her younger sister. If the Shinawatras ever did get banished, they'd still be quite comfortable as the elite of the elite of Cambodia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRONGOH Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 What pussy needs his parents to ask someone else's if they can marry? Oh but of course he never intended it to come to this -- but being from a dictatorship they must comply. I might not have wealth from corruption like these dictators do, but I'm glad I have my freedom. It is common in some cultures. Prince Philip is hardly a pussy and he had to obtain permission to marry Princess Elizabeth. Probably, the Queem Mum didn't want a Greek in the family.

indyuk Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That will just create "the false image" that Thailand and Cambodia care for peaceful Prea Vinhear temple solution, .... but we all know that this battle will continue anyway... All any juristic Thai person should want is a clear judicial summary that reinforces a verdict based and the balance of covenience between Thailand's claim of sovereignty over the Temple and land that harmonises with historical fact and flaws (if any) in Cambodia's arguments.

thairookie Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Very big of the Shinawatra's to allow this union. Imagine it, the champion of Thai democracy, well on the way to beatification, giving his blessing to the marriage of his niece to the son of a brutal dictator that came to power in the 1997 Cambodian coup. I realize there are good coups and bad coups, but still, very big of Thailand's first family. She is not going to be married to the son of a brutal dictator but the son of the right-hand man of Hun Sen.

Popular Post chooka Posted May 17, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2013 She is only thaksin's niece people and she never asked to be born into the family. Why can't some just accept that they may just be very nice people who are in love and want to marry? I can't recall that she has actually done anything to members on here but people seem to have a hatred purely because of what her uncle did. Why should she be punished purely for what an extended family member did. I say cut them just a little bit of slack and until she comes over and takes a dump in your pool give them a break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryMilton Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Seems it isn't Hun Sen's son at all, but his right hand man's son. Well done the Nation. What a stunning screw up trying to make the story fit. This really is a rag of a paper, barely good enough for tomorrow's fish and chips. You're another one making a stunning screw-up. Read it again.

Hun Sen's son and heir to Cambodia's dictatorship. At noted previously, some of you need to read more carefully: "...the son of Cambodian PM Hun Sen's right-hand man." And yes, "arranged marriages" do still happen. I personally know the 23 yr old daughter of one of Thailand's richest. She has a business degree from Chulalongkorn Univ, and works in her father's company "learning the ropes" to take over from him when he decides to step down. She told me a few months ago that her father arranged a "Coming Out" party for her, inviting many of BKK's elites with eligible sons. and that her father then made the selection of which one she would marry. She has zero say-so in the matter, unless she wants to be "expelled" from the family. Edited May 17, 2013 by Just1Voice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
