Dowery and an orphan
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2006 11:26 am
i met my thai girl trough a netsite, she is working in a hospital and seems to be the most nice and patient girl ever
I have decided to go to thailand to meet her..and if all goes good take her back home to me
I mentioned that when we chatted..and mentioned that i was falling in love with her..and had intentions of marrying her if we both felt that was a good thing...that brought out the question about 500$ a month...
i was a bit offgueard that night so i didnt se the intentions behind it..and tried to tell her that i would after we decided if we marry or not ..apperantly she thought decition was already done..but 500bucks..isent that in upper lane ? .. or i dunno..im totally new on this
Well ive read your book..so i told i would support her..and her family..but it had to be bugdeded and talked about not cause i didnt want to..but i had to know
But she has told me that both her parents and grandparents are dead..all she got is 2 brothers and a sister. She is also "over her prime" (noknown reason) what would be my expectations and way to deal with traditional thai ways here..somehow i guess her oldest brother is some kinda "head" of he family ?
I asked her about this..but she said "forget about" but as i read..that dont mean much ...i told her i understood nam-jai..and i wanted to take care of her family as well..then she seemed so surprised..but ended with the "up to you baby" lol.. but then again thanked me for knowing her culture so much
i kinda know there is some major traps here..who will be the head of the family ? ...and what about dowery ? to whom ? and..well i guess the amount would be the same as if it was her parents ?
Thnx for any help
