We have different cultures, and my family always pays the bride’s family. We don’t feel like it’s treating anyone as an object. My family always happily pays.
Honestly, all of my male friends who said these things have master’s degrees from the USA and UK, and they are happily married. Most of my friends stay in Bangkok btw
I disagree. Most women from top universities in Thailand are well-educated. While some might be gold diggers, the majority are not. Their families often have to pay extra for education to help them pass the difficult entrance exams.
