The sin sod, is traditionally a payment to the bride's parents for the good upbringing of their daughter, which could imply anything really.

Don't pay any sin sod if it's not a thing in your culture. I'd consider it only if the wife to be was a virgin, never married with no kids from a decent and proper family.

You can own the house, not the land.

a plan yes, a firm date and ticket no.

You wont have a problem renting any car or any motorcycle without a licence in Thailand. Many Thais are also getting around on the roads without one. This doesn't mean you should.

Simple, just ask your manager / agent to arrange it for you.

Except death!

I personally have no interest in pretentious wannabe Hi-So Chinese Thai women that look like they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. It's also of little importance to me if my girl attended university let alone which one. Sounds like this person has led a very insulated and superficial life to believe these are traits that any real men are looking for.

@Peter *******

are you buying a virgin?
