Surin lady receives 7-figure sinsot from Irish fiancee

[Falconator]

Found this Thai news article trending. I've translated about half of the article.

 

Obviously, what made this article appear newsworthy was all the money, jewelry, and real estate that was offered to a 44-year-old baan nok woman.

Ms. Charatpharakun of Tambon Nok Mueang, Amphoe Meuang, Surin Province, 44, who runs a mobile phone shop at the local market, is set to marry Richard McAllister, 64, an Irish national who works in London on computer networking.

 

They have a new single-story detached home at No. 442, Moo 18, Tambon Chai Niyong, Meuang District that is worth millions of baht.

 

The engagement ceremony is performed in the local Surin Khmer dialect, and is attended by many family members, relatives, and friends.

 

A diamond ring, gold, and cash have been dedicated, as well as a new house. There is also a bride price (sinsot) of an undisclosed 7-figure amount (i.e., over 1 million baht), which will be made known next year.

 

At the end of the engagement ceremony, the couple would be able to kiss each other on the cheek and embrace each other. The was atmosphere warm, cheerful with many guest, relatives, and friends from different countries.

 

This was a Thai woman who had found love with a foreign man because of the Internet. They had previously communicated by e-mail before deciding to go with each other, and had occasionally met each other on and off for 5 years.

I love how the Thais whitewash ethnicity...she's clearly ethnic Khmer, even though of course she's a Thai citizen.

 

What I would really like to see is the photo of her golden pussy.  For surely that's what it's made of; that's the only thing that could justify such a ridiculously high sin sot.

What I am always amazed about is that this makes news. Why? So a couple got married, hundreds do probably every week. Why does this one get news notoriety? Is it because the wife or the family member supplied all the information to the paper so it would become public as some sort of show off thing?

 

Personally I would never want my wedding and financial information along with my picture out on the internet for a host of reasons. If I was that guy I'd be quite angry. 

 

regardless congrats the couple, if they are happy that's all that matters.
