All the questions I asked the man were collected from my male friends who have high status and graduated with master’s degrees from the USA and the UK. Usually, when they participate in social groups, they introduce their partners and highlight their partners’ status as well. High-status men don’t care about dowries, even if their wives require 20 million THB
No, for me, Thai men are better. They are gentlemen, kind, generous , and polite. I don’t suggest that foreigners follow what Thai men prefer, but I’ve noticed that many of you often assume that every Thai woman is a prostitute. Prostitutes don’t give a fk about education. That’s it
In the past, the Thai dowry acted as compensation for the family because when a woman left to marry, she lost the ability to support her family. It was believed that women always took care of their parents, so when they left, the parents needed money to support themselves.
Now, the concept of dowry has changed to what I explained earlier. For me, I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s a tradition that we’ve practiced for a long time. We used to say that divorced women are for foreigners because, in the past, no Thai men would marry a divorced woman.
I understand, but many Farang here think that most Thai women are bar girls or freelancers. I just wanted to share our Thai values and how well-educated Thai men choose their life partners. Most prostitutes don’t care about getting even undergraduate degrees
Okay, my family is always happy to pay when our men are getting married. In my culture, divorced women face taboos, making it hard for them to find a new husband. All Thai women leave their homes to live with their husbands, which means they lose the opportunity to take care of their elderly parents. Most of the time, women leave their jobs when they have children. The dowry acts as a guarantee that if her husband leaves her and she can’t find a new husband, she’ll still have money to support herself. Nice that u don’t judge
