SIN SOD question. How much?

[aparasher]

BTW....to put things into perspective.......What we mustn't forget though is that an average wedding cost in the UK are £20,000 ( 1,00,000 Baht) but with the help of this site ( http://www.weddingguideuk.com/articles/planning/budget.asp ) you can get it down to £11,000 ( 550,000 baht ) so even if you pay a sin sod it's still cheap .

£20,000 should be equal to 1,000,000 baht.....just being picky....LOL

I'm thinking of asking a god-awful shite load of cash for my daughter's wedding in the future years.

Thats a good point.  I have a daughter also, but we don't live in Thailand at the moment. 
But How many Buriram Farangs would look for sinsod for the daughters marriage.  And would you give it back afterwards ??  Lets see who would do what !

Since I would imagine our daughters are likely to have a higher education than their village friends, and will not be so dark skinned, they will be more appealing to the Bangkok gentry, many of whom have money beyond belief. In such circumstances one would have to consider the dowry carefully.

But at the end of the day. it will be the Thai mothers who will decide!

To  pre-guess what our children are going to do is impossible ,it could be a poor farmers son who likes to sleep all day with the aircon on   

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Then I'd price my daughter out of the market!

Nope. Not giving it back. I'd be asking a nice fair sum of 200K.....party and tamboon included.

Correct Alan. Reasonably difficult to cast predispositions as to the situations and whom they might marry. My daughters are local girls. Raised well amongst a sorta old-school atmosphere, even though they're exposed to most everything. Personally, I would direct them towards a local situation - hard-working good young man from a decent rural family would certainly suffice.

Not thinking of her, Nicky?

About as rare as rocking horse shit, I would imagine.

Just out of casual interest  - how old are your daughters ?

Do they like Farangs ?

[Prakhonchai Nick]

You are too bloody old CoCo!!!!!!!!!!

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Indeed I am Pee Nue

I don't want either marrying one of the local layabouts who do not work, scrounge money and drink lao cow all day

However I think my 2 girls have their heads screwed on properly!

It's my son who is likely to be the problem. In the Isaan villages, if a boy screws a local lass (with her permission and agreement) and the parents find out they expect marriage or a hefty payout. I have said before that in such circumstances I would happily pay to save the parents face, BUT since it takes 2 to tango, I would expect a similar payment from the girls parents, since the girl obviously corrupted my son!

Be careful in that glasshouse with those stones.
