Nice site,but can't agree about the sin-sot ..esp this part.

Some Westerners show a certain cultural chauvinism in refusing to pay the Sin Sot. They claim that it is a Thai custom that Farangs are not obliged to pay – especially not if your wife is from a poor family or has had previous relationships. Some Farangs who have this attitude just seem to want to get their Thai brides and take them back to their home countries and then forget about Thailand. It seems to be a rejection of Thai culture and an assertion of the “superiority” of our values.
Never known a Thai person to pay one for a previously married bird.Why should farang?
