Almost same as Chinese Singaporean. Depends on budget & what girl's parents want. If rich, dinner (usual) at 5-star hotel or lunch. Groom's family arrive at the venue (or sometimes girl's house) and the ceremony takes place. Monks or shaman will perform the ceremony which involves sprinkling holy water, chanting & all present tying string to the newly weds' wrists. Should not take more than 2 hours for the whole shing-ding to b over followed by the makan session. Expect lots of alcohol to b consumed. U can Goggle "thai wedding" for more details. Lots of sites & forums on the topic.

Yes, yes especially so if it is registered with the local tambon (district) office. Same legal shit of splitting assets blah, blah, blah... then fren muz get Spore Embassy to issue cert tat fren is not married in Spore. Or else juz marry w/o registering also can.

Go see father and "pay money" means GF father wants to Robert or chai tow your fren. Sin sod (or dowry) is agreed upon before the wedding. Its usually paid in cash during the wedding ceremony. The in-laws will gather around and count the cash in front of everybody.

555+ funny question. What kind of "dangers" does your fren expect? If his GF is not a WL/FL/hooker/go-go dancer and family is urban middle class from Bangkok then expect the same as marrying a SG girl.

Ask ICA the best. They never let the public know their criteria for approving/rejecting PR applications. But if said GF is an "engineer" from a recognized uni then there should not b a prob. Unless she worked as FL in Spore b4 2 pay her tuition and kanna caught & blacklisted?

If just go n see him then why need to give 50k thb? If there to talk abt marriage then both parties will have to agree with sin sot. I seriously doubt 50k thb for sin sot.

Getting married involve a lot of risks and unknown. Guess if she comes "clean" ie clean background, not divorce with kid and so on then all the unknown will be in the future.

Hi,

Marry "PuiYing" in SG. Arrange the SG "ROM" official in a Thai "Wat" in SG. The "ROM" will be witnessed by the monk & an official from ROM. Thus, it's an official marriage recognised by the SG Act. My friend married her thai wife in Wat Amanda situated in JLN BUKIT MERAH. The hq of thai temple in SG. Cheers.

Sorry for the false alarm. Living in Bangkok, especially just within 1.5km of the protest site is tense. Anyway, I will post only in the Bangkok Field report thread from now.

Im not young like some of the brothers here... sadly i would be giving up my license to roam soon. Would you like to mourn with me in thailand for my bachelor party before that?

On a side note, i never knew of needing to give any money to the parents to arrange a wedding in thailand. Me and my gf arrange on our own just like any couple in SG . The sinsot varies according to family expectation and background.

[norice]

Glouyang,

Congratulation! I'll give you a temporary license to play around only at Thermae Coffee Shop!

I'm hoping to follw your footstep soon but not to get married! Only longterm permanent relationship!

Bachelor Party, where?

Goodluck
