No, your wife got all the land....you didn't get shit. How's that working out for you?

Works well thanks,anything she sells Like the Euco or land I get the money and save for are kids future, which eventually all the land will go to kids.

No bad hey for flipping burgers.

About six weeks from now we're just about to sell another piece of land for 400,000 Baht.

My MiL still holds it against me for not paying Sin Sot 11 years ago. She was living with a German at the time and wasn't financially dependent on my wife. To me it's greed as I'm sure if I'd coughed up she'd have kept it. But in sayin that, she's okay. And she buys me beer when she wins on the illegal lottery.

How did you ensure that will happen? Do you have paperwork saying what happens to the money when the land is sold? Did she sign paperwork saying you'll get the money?
Teach me, O Master!

CS hmm its in my bank,that's how I know,she maybe many things though thief is not one of them.

She was at one time,controlled by the baan nok mentality though moved on since then.

Sometimes putting your Paranoia to one side can help in life.

In good we trust.

If the money is in your bank, then she sold the land?

Sin sod is a sexist tradition in that the wife-to-be is treated as an object with a price on her head. BTW just because the woman agrees with the tradition does not make it less sexist. This so-called "tradition" could even be considered sex trafficking:

Sex trafficking involves some form of forced or coerced sexual exploitation that is not limited to prostitution, and has become a significant and growing problem in both the United States and the larger global community.

Yes your so right CS as always.

It's also Thai tradition

Thai dowry prices fall drastically if your bride-to-be has been previously married, already has children, or is not a virgin anymore. In fact in most of these instances, no dowry deserves to be paid.

I wonder how much they'd be keeping the 'tradition' if it was the bride that had to pay the groom.


I'd wager not much.

Luigi you shouldn't worry Gigolos get taken care of.

I don't.

My Western and Thai properties are all in my own name.

The only way to do it bud.

I'm not always right, but I'm smart enough not to talk the talk when I don't know fuck all.

Then it does seem you know Fuck all.

No one needs to talk the talk, its fact.

You sound as if you've had a bad experience in the past.

For us it was pretty easy. Simple almost.

We met up and started to live together for a year or 2 then decided to move up north because Ban Chang was becoming an extension of the walking streets of Pattaya.

Rented a place for a couple of years then eventually found a place to buy.

40 minutes from her Mums village and reasonably pleasant.

Bought it.

We'd got married, as per the system, paper work, bureaucracy, Bangkok a year or 2 before.

From the word go it was clear that it was she and me. I had no intention of supporting her family and I didn't expect her to support mine. She was cool with this.

Over the last 10 years it's been about doing stuff together. She's totally with that.

In, fuc i can't remember, 2014 or 5 we had the the house blessing/village wedding and it was great. we did it together cos I reckoned the less spent on monks the better.

Anyway, folk came from all over, it was a great party spread over a couple of days and, believe it or not we made a profit.

The thing is, in our village, everybody gives an envelope of cash to everybody getting married. Same same for funerals.

So, you arrange to get married, order up the food grog dancers music etc and off you go.

Post celebration she sits down and counts up the the envelopes.

FMD it covered just about everything. And I reckon there was a bit left over.

FYI she's 10 years younger than me and there has never been any suggestion of Sin Sod from any one.

Her family, who are great keep away, but we/she visit regularly.

It's 40 minutes by car which we can do but they seem to think is is a bit arduous.

All good.

She has 2 grown kids whom I am most attached to and they have never asked for anything. We help them when it's appropriate or when we feel like spoiling the 2 grand kids.

So, everyone has a different story but my point is it has to come down to the individuals concerned.

when I first came to LOS, many years ago I met many women who were keen to get involved but the IMO there are no rules other than those that you create between the 2 of you.

Then off you go.

For what it's worth, and because it makes me smile this was the wedding and house blessing.

No, there was no SIS SOD.

Carry on..........
