[Birdman]

Looks like, that she first took his marriage proposal not seriously and joked by saying sin sod = 2.8M and he simple said that's fine....


BTW that kind of news could spread quicker than a brushfire and prices for sin sod and other costs could go up, while already married husbands could face paying another 100ks.

[eek]

As others have said, its his choice. Hope they both are very happy together and the relationship is a success.

The only thing i can think of that may be a concern to others is the possible knock on effect for farangs who pay sin sot. When Thai people read about a farang paying that kind of money for a katoy, imagine what some may think. Charge double that for the regular girls sin sot!! Buyer beware.



(btw..the "buyer beware" was a play on a popular expression and meant as a joke!)

edit: Ow, birdman bet me to it..haha. Sorry didnt read your post before posting mine.

Why do people feel the need to 'get married' anyway?

Bit off-topic, but i used to think same way. I always thought i would want to be independent and not even have kids. But, if you meet the right person you can still be somewhat independent (meaning not be stiffled and maintain some independence and things you like doing). I can now see the benefits of the idea of marriage, especially now the idea of having kids is more appealing. Having someone to hopefully grow old with, create some security with, create a home and family with. Someone who you can share times with and develop memories with. Of course, a male and female perspective on this likely differs, but im sure many fundamental reasons are shared. Of course, if a man (or woman) is interested mainly in sex with many different people, then unless he/she can find and enter into an open marriage, then any monogamous relationship is probably their idea of hel_l.

If they are both happy, good for them!!!!!!!

[neverdie]

Yes well I guess its up to him how much he wants to pay.

In this day and age with all the same sex relationships, marriage etc etc the only thing that seems out of order here is the colour of his suit?

[Theyreallrubbish]

Good luck to them. Hope they're happy for ever.

I would agree that this is likely to raise the bar on the expectations of other Thai families for a while, but there have been endless debates already about over-tippers (not a pun) ruining things for everyone else

[Patsycat]

I wonder when he's going to take her home to meet the family...

And for the record, he isn't gay.

If you guys cannot get your head around that, well...

[bravingbangkok]

As long as he is happy who am I to judge, good for you if you have found happiness.

[Rawkus]

It's his money, he can spend it however he likes.


Good luck to the couple, I wish them a long and happy relationship.

[robbiecia]

So he has married a shim.

Good luck to him

Why isn't she pretty? She looks beautiful.

This is not a SHE, by any stretch of the imagination.

If the old guy were to walk down a street in Britain or Ireland with his drag queen, both would be beaten up within the first hour.

Could you imagine them walking hand in hand outside a pub after the animal chucking out time. How long do you think they would last?

Sick.

You are the only sick person here.

And a transsexual is not a drag-queen. You cannot understand the very important different between a 'gay man' and a 'transsexual now woman'?

They would probably get similar treatment in Australia, some macho types would take it upon themselves to sort them out. What's sick is that folks can't live and let live.

If it doesn't affect you and your lifestyle then where's the problem.

If the couple are happy, well good on em I say.

Some guys can't tell. Although, he's not exactly "n'Poy" Treechada (google) either.

I guess most are too pissed to notice the forced gait, dodgy hips, wrong arms, long fingers; not to mention the baritone voice and Mr Apple (if still there). Miss Treechada is a stunner, though, and looks better than most of the top felines out there.

Some always will pay more for that little bit extra

lololol! can't blame him perhaps no REAL woman has catched his eyes or just desperate. 2.8M dowry( wonder how much the golds cost too!) is quite big enough for more plastic surgeries.That can indeed make the "girl" at least in whatever way he would like him to have, be and look like.( in case the parents won't get hold of the whole amount), ..and yeah obviously HE CAN AFFORD! Perhaps he has another 2.8M reserved if that "union" won't work. That's for us to see. Hehehe. Naaaaaaaaaaaah I'm just jealous it's more than winning a lottery! LOLOLOL! Best wishes to both though.

Thai tolerance of private matters is one of the best qualities of Thai culture. The my pen rai attitude is often frustrating in many circumstances but it affords a degree of freedom for individuals that is rare in the world.

And the general Thai good manners not to intrude in the private matters of others allows freedom to be who you want to be to an extraordinary degree.

The thuggish elements that many correctly suppose would inflict violence on them in many of our countries is not a laughing matter, but should be a matter of shame. I'm ashamed that I come from a culture that physically attacks any it sees as different from the social norm regardless of whether the other people impinge on their lives in any way at all.

Seeing katoey with regular jobs in banks and shops is a terrific testament to a commendable facet of Thai culture.

So this guy is not just celebrating his love, but celebrating a freedom that many of us who live here take for granted and forget how special it is when we grumble about all the negatives.

And of course I'm aware that freedom is theoretical for most Thais with peer pressure, economic restrictions, family pressure, the hierarchical social system etc., but the opportunity to be free is there and that's something worth celebrating
