Just got back from watching a sin sot negotiations spiel.
What a load of bs it really. Here's why.
Unless you're a mafia hitman , how can you put a price on a human life? The thais have no problem with this.
Then after they saw me there , they tried for an extra 100k. Of course they did. I got up and walked out at that point.
Then I'm sat outside , cracked another beer , its 10am but I needed it.
So next the conversation turns to how much is the ring valued at?
The whole room of 20 something people wanting to hear it.
We think it's a copy they say.
Ffs , crack goes another beer for hippity. Im starting to think poor people are fkt.
Anyhow the end price was 200k plus 2 baht gold.
Congrats. You just sold a human being namrly your daughter. Not dissimilar to human slavery or traffiking imo. No doubt they'll sleep well tonight. Peaseantry at its finest.
What a fking joke the whole sin sod really is.
I vote all farang should stand up to this archaic tradition and say no to sin sod. I'm guessing you probably have helped the outlaws more than enough and they should be grateful you're with their daughter over getting bs from a drunk thai husband while living in a grass hut.
Now how's this for a catch...
Its the farangs fault sin sods so high according to Thais. Before you couldn't touch a Thai girl until marriage. You'd be talking ti the cops if you did. Since we havd been coming here and touching all the girls it's driven the prices up.
So typical it's our fault . Again.
Sin sods a load of crap , nothing more than a money grabbing scheme and akin to human traffiking.
Just say no people. If thats not good enough then move on.

I say the same for engagement rings and wedding rings in the west. If she wants one she can buy it herself. |

1 of my favourite sin sod scams is a Thai/farang matchmaking website.
Very well known but name witheld.
Their scam is taking 20% of the agrred sin sod but the farang never knows this bit.
Just further proof it's purely a money grab.
Wake up people. Just say no.

You aren't putting a value on her head. Rings need not cost alot. Your argument has zero substance or relativity. |

Do a little research on rings, The engagement ring is part of the dowry (read sing sod) Even now..in the west there is an amount expected to be spent.. www.whowhatwear.com/how-much-to-spend-on-engagement-ringdo a little research before saying someones coments have zero substance or relativity.... |

My beef aint about sin sot per se, its about what happens to it.
Is it just for show and will be returned to the couple afterwards?
Is the guy himself supposed to front the lot or will the girl be helping?
I know Thai couples who have set up a joint bank account to save for this show of money.
Who will pay for the wedding p**s up?
What happens to the money in the envelops, who will that go to?
Is it just a down payment with the girl sending money every month?
More importantly, what are the girls parents bringing to the union?
Lets be honest here, most farangs follow the girl back to her village, from what I have seen of Thai/Thai marriages, the girl follows the husband.
PS as an aside, the stories Thai guys tell me are unbelievable.
Girl I know, uni educated and speaks perfect English, works with large company earning about 50k per month, sin sot will be 600k baht.
The guy she is marrying is also on a decent wedge, both girl and boy and their families are compatible.
One Thai guy told be he was asked to buy a condo and car for some airhead, he declined the offer.
Another Thai friend and his girlfriend live together, they laugh and joke they are too busy to get married.
I was once asked my opinion at a sin sot meeting, the parents had come down to Bkk, girl was uni educated with a decent salary, guy was going nowhere fast in some dead end job.
My advice was, if you truely love the girl, keep the sin sot money and use it to go to uni and get educated, then get a decent job then come back and ask about sin sot.
The girl and man parted later, they were going in opposite directions.

What the old its meant to cost so many percent of your wage thing? Rubbish. No one does that anymore. A wedding ring costs a couple hundred dollars. An engagement ring costs more but you still don't negotiate a price on your wifes head like shes a piece of meat. Then you also buy wedding rings in Thailand also. Thats after you've given her parents gold and cash. |

Tell the miserable sod to pay up and get on with life.
Two of our villagers have three daughters each and the best houses. Meanwhile they wander around the village drinking beer and full of self-importance.

That being the case, me being an ''antique'' would surely become a rich man upon marriage in India. How many rupee's for this fine English antique, all his own original hair and teeth and all moving parts in fine working order?   |

You may manage to get a Harijan who has spent a few years in Fawkland Road. She will not pay much though. |

Probably not a bad deal if she was to be ''re-sleeved'' I suppose. If one was to spread ones wings and venture further afield do you think it's possible that there may be bargains to be had at Cox's Bazaar too  |

Imagine the farang cheap charlies flocking to Thailand if this was true here., but bet the girls wouldnt be marrying geriatric farangs in this instance  |
