well, the bride and groom gets money gifts from all the guests. At least 1000 baht/person so for me and my wife we got more money back from the guest than the wedding cost with 300 guests in Bangkok. And my wifes parents went out official and said they didnt ask for any sinsod. Usully it is only cheap low educated people from the countryside that asks for sinsod these days. And yes, I said to my wifes parents I would never ever pay sinsod because it is just like buying my wife from her parents and I would never do that ever.
