Into the Bedroom!
If the wedding takes place at the bride’s home, a ceremonial bridal chamber is usually set up and decorated, and towards the end of the ceremony the couple is ushered in to lay down on the bed and receive advice from older women on how husbands and wives should behave in the union. Nothing too racy though! The couple is made to lay down and close their eyes (the man first, while the woman is supposed to stay up later caring for the household) while money is hidden throughout the bed, in coins up to one 1000-baht bill. When instructed to open their eyes, the couple races to collect the money and the partner who finds the biggest bill is apt to be the one who will hold the purse strings in the years to come.
And the entire ceremonial part of the wedding ends with gifts and thanks to guests, especially elders, for making joining in the festivities.
