Completley wrong !

It can be given to the married couple.

I have lived in Thailand 44 yrs.

Visited at least 60 mariages as guest or photigrapher.

@Paul **********

Morning gift. !!

@Paul **********

I do not understand what you mean.

What has a different name ???

Do you mean sinsod ???

@Durrant *******

I have lived here 44 yrs, I have seen many hundreds of farang come and leave.

They have built houses with their lovley Thai wife. Life was good.

The wife plans a tam boon with the family, and he shouts... that is not my family and no thai culture in my house.

After a year he moves back to where he came from. And she has a house.

Becauce he did not accept thai culture.

And stay away from Isaan if you do not like it.

@Paul *******

If you are looking for a lifetime relationship... accept thai culture or leave thailand.

If it is a scam....leave her.

@Durrant *******

If you do not accept thai culture.

Do not live in Thailand.

@James *********

No, sinsod is normal in Thailand.

It is a gift from the boys family to the girls family.

I have been here 44 yrs I know.

At least 8 persons in the family has married during that time

I have been to at lest 60 wedings as a guest and/or a photgrapher.

And yes many stupid farangs with their head in a beer bottle has been scamed.

But that has nothing with thai traditions to do.
