I am soooo fed up with your systematic Thai bashing, your nasty, unintelligent, stereotyped statements about Thailand and Thai people. And since you are obviously in front of your computer every day for endless hours (nothing better to do, sure?) it's difficult to read even one thread without coming accross your haughty attitudes and white supremacist pose. You're as ubiquitous as you are unpalatable. Will you give us a break and turn down the volume of your barking ? I won't even ask the usual question "why do you stay if you hate this country so much?" but it does boggle the mind. DSD had some relevant observations about this story. I am sorry, but I can not find any interesting observations regarding the OP in your post. You may correct me. i remember a case some years ago, when parents did get a big dowry from a norway man. It was so much money that the father of the girl could divorce his wife and buy a new young wife. Happy life in Thailand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeyrobot Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Maybe he had second thoughts and instead of making the bride loose face he made this plan. I love you but I don't have all the cash, I will remind my Farang friend of this if they have last minute jitters when there bid day arrives.

Basically, there are no rules in Thailand - other than where money can be extracted it will be. Where Farangs are concerned a dowry will always be expected. I did see once case where the mother of a twice married daughter demanded a dowry from her current gik !! Well ,if you're silly enough to pay for an married lady who has been married before so be it .I stick to what I know,Good luck (ps,it worked for me (: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marraige is doomed before it has begun. You've hit the nail firmly on the bonce. India was similar, only quite often they set fire to the bride (who's expected to provide the dowry) if she doesn't cough up. I know it's traditional in these countries, but no matter how much I try, I can't get my head around how parents can put money before their kid's happiness. Maybe face is the culprit.

I am not sure why you have the idea that the brides family only are interested in money. too am married & paid a sinsod & paid for the wedding. We agreed to the terms in advance and that was the deal. I gave her a budget to work to for the wedding and she came in on target so I kept my part. My girl's family a country folk but no too badly off but there would have been no wedding without money to show the guests and my girl was and is 11 years later, still a traditional girl.

"Yesterday the father of the bride Bunsuan Wareesri, 51, said it was none of his doing and he felt sorry for his daughter."
