Sin Sot

[dgoz]

For arguments sake, let's say an early 20's virgin (or was before me) from an Isaan farming family with a clerical job.

[chuchok]

They should pay you....

It all depends on how much they think you have, not what shes worth !

100,000 baht

[Donz]

yes it depends on your finance. Im paying 150K in sinsot in a few months. thats what the parents asked but the deal is they are paying for the wedding which will make that amount look like church change

[phazey]

Zero. you can't buy love.

[GuestHouse]

Here we go again.

[Donz]

Its not buying love, its a tradition

[Unknown]

Zero. you can't buy love.

Was somebody talking about love?

[Maigo6]

I offered 300,000 Baht sin sot and my girlfriend was not too impressed.

Then again, I was offering that ammount for her 18 year old sister, not her!!

And we don't get married.

That's indeed a solution...

heh "tradition"

My wife's family refused any form of donation - They were happy their daughter found someone who she loved.

Sorry for being a tad rude there, not intended. just my POV.

Well thats fine, you should be greatful to her family, my sinsot if just more of helping to pay for the wedding, not as if her family needs the money.

It seems that most farangs have difficulty understanding the sin sot.

It has nothing to do with the fact that the girl you marry is poor or rich.

Thais in rich families pay a sin sot also...

And most guests will make a cash donation on arrival - spend it wisely young padawan.......

I would say you should try to keep it in the 50k to 100k range, for that specific case.

If age, job, and virginity status were the same and she came from a 'Hi-So' family, and maybe a grad of a big Thai Uni, then sin sod could easily be triple or more.

If she were older and had had a few boyfriends before you, particularly if she'd been married, then sin sot goes down.

And if in the worse case she already has kids, then I wouldn't pay any sin sot at all -- but then it would be very unlikely for me personally to consider marrying a Thai lady who already has children.

No wonder you're in Myanmar Phazey...

In that particular case, you'll probably have to add a house to the sin sot...

[phazey]

Gotta earn the coin somehow, right?

[dgoz]

Problem is her best friend married a German guy who gave 400,000. or that's what I'm lead to believe.

Donz, what's a wedding in Isaan worth?

I would have thought 150,000 max

[Donz]

In isaan I have no idea, as my fiancee is in the upper class of bangkok. But my fiancee said they just want to ask me for alittle sinsot.

If i was rich maybe they would ask for more

there is one born every day .........

don't pay a sin sot, it's just a scam to get cash out of a gullible farang.

tell them you won't pay and if they don't like it then bye bye.

Nah, they are paying fro the entire wedding. So I got a great deal, my wedding wont be a little part with the family, its going to have alot of very important people in Thailand attending it and lots of money will be spent on it.

And the funny thing is?

They won't miss you...

For those of you who can't see the deepseated resentment, hatred and racism towards Farang in Thailand I suggest you're either blind, ignorant or you just haven't been here long enough.

The question is whether you can look past all that to the upside, of which there is a considerable one, and enjoy it.

Shouldn't you know already?

[Donz]

I see some farangs seem very arrogant (well whats new).

Its a thai tradition, just because you dont sgree with it doesnt mean its always a scam etc.

I think many of you just need to get you head out of your ass and live in reality
