andrew Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 What would be your absolute dream wedding here in Thailand?My dream marriage would take place on Samila Beach, Songkla.Lots of fireworks. Plenty of booze. I guess you know what I mean.The highlight of the event would be when a powerful spotlight picks out a lone piper up on the mountain in one of the Sultan's old forts.Following that, the lights would re-direct to an assembly of bagpipe players on Samila Beach. They would be playing Amazing Grace. This would be a tribute to .......... well ............ lots of different people. Finally, an RAF helicopter would descend in order to take my bride and I off to our honeymoon in the Bora Bora Islands.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Obviously, there are a couple of reasons why none of this will ever happen.First -- and this is just a minor detail -- the event would cost about 8 trillion dollars to host.Second -- and this is really just nit-picking -- I am THE ONLY MEMBER of Thaivisa who's not a millionaire.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Let's do away with the crap. Let's enjoy some pure class.Turn the volume up as much as possible. Sit back. And enjoy.And watch out for that lone piper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Send me a PM, I can arrange all this for you and give you a nice discount on that 8 trillion$ price tag. Frankly, I'll probably need a 99% discount. As I said, I'm the only TV member who's not a millionaire. But my woes don't stop there. I'm embarresed to say that my GF isn't Thai-Chinese, and I have a shockingly low post count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks for that andrew. You know I am a long way from my gf tonight in a geographical sense but we speak on a daily basis. I am doing my best to reduce that distance, as is she.....no need for details but its not easy forging a long lasting relationship when decent work is hard to come by in Thailand. Perhaps we shall have to live in Australia or the UK eventually....although I would prefer to be in Thailand where her family are....as she would miss them terribly. As to where i would like to marry....its not something I have thought about....but a happy consideration...for me just spending every day together will be a joy. For my grandfather however...at my wedding this must be played as he loved to sing it and will bring a tear to many an eye.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujr8dQJgQUU 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically, you're talking about what's known as an LDR (Long Distance Relationship). ----------------------------------------------- She and I met on a dating site. But at first, it was all wrong. It was clearly a scam. Her photos didn't show a normal Thai girl. She looked like an Arab. And her surname was absurd. --------------------------------------------- Then we met. She flew up from "down south" to manage a government conference in BKK. We were together for two weeks. We never went to pubs. We went to the zoo. And parks. And stuff. It was perfect. And then she went back to that strange province down south that I knew nothing about. ------------------------------------------------ It was at that point that I realized I was in an LDR. I phoned her everyday. Always. I thought about her all the time. And then it waned. She could never come to live in BKK, and I could never go and live down by the Malaysian border. ------------------------------------------------ I still remember the day in October 2011 when I woke up and noticed my house was starting to flood. Over the course of the next 2 or 3 hours, the water level rose by about 6 inches. By about 12am, I knew that my house (a beautiful, Mediterranean-style villa) would be lost. So I called her. And she told me to abandon everything and go south. I waded out to the entrance of my village. I took a taxi to Bang Sue Railway Station. I took the overnight sleeper down to Had Yai. The train left at 3pm; she picked me up from Had Yai the next day at 8am and drove me to a province that I knew absolutely nothing about. And I've now been here for for almost two years. ------------------------------------------- So .......... how to manage an LDR. I don't know. I really don't. I just got lucky. Forum experts may give you tips and advice. But I really don't know what to say. I do believe, however, that if you're determined enough then .......................

NeverSure Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) My idea of a dream wedding would be 500 people, unlimited good food, beer and whiskey, 1 million baht in sin sod on display, lots of good music and then,... Watching the bride and groom (never me) ride off into the sunset. Edited August 5, 2013 by NeverSure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley'sLife Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Perhaps the best Thai wedding is the village ceremony, as it enables the couple to be "married" in the eyes of society without the encumberances that are attached to a legal marriage. Thai men certainly know how to organise the country to their advantage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdecas Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 With the number of foreigners who manage to be taken to the cleaners by their Thai wives, it's probably more useful to discuss your dream divorce - the one in which you retain the house and at least some money in the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salapoo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I had my dream wedding in Thailand. Myself and my wife and the people we care about in her parent's house. About ten people in total. Lot's of food and 2 or 3 liters of Black Label to wash it down with. Perfect. Only came to about 10k baht. All the other stuff people do is for idiots if you ask me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BahBahBoBo Posted August 5, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2013 My dream wedding? Ohhhh, lets see now, My young but mature bride of 21 years of age who looks like a playboy/penthouse centerfold candidate is shy and excited over the event as she's been saving her virginity. Her father, a good man, has sold one of the farms and many of the buffalo to buy me a flashy new 4X4 so his spoiled young daughter won't have to walk too much when I drive her to the shops to purchase cleaning products to clean our home, cars and motorbikes like a good girl. 'Mamma' always doting and worryig about her youngest chicken has had a good talk with her older sisters who are all concerned the big farang might be 'just too much' for her on her 'first night' The girls decide to take turns with me in the sack before the honeymoon to 'wear me down a little' all with Pappa's approval of course. The wedding itself is a lovely affair, the monks have been practicing speed reading for a month to fasten the formalities a bit. Pappa had to sell his trusty and much loved merc to buy some good quality American and Scotch whiskeys rather than the usual thai fare, but hey, it was worth it, look at my smiling face! Chef Gordon ramsay is overseeing the culinary preperations, lovely steaks with all the trimmings, he's screaming and cursing at all the staff as usual... Or is he screaming because a big ladyboy has ripped down his pants and is tight behind him playing hide-the-hotdog. All my friends have come to the swedding too, far a great big party, all two of them. :D Honeymoon on Bangla Road in Phuket, where we watch some farang-on-farang and Tha-on-farang violence for a bit of live entertainment before retiring to the honeymoon suite tucked in the back rooms of 'Soi Lion'. Ahhh sure, ain't it grand? We can only dream. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
