i respect , but this is not my tradition .. this is your tradition.. i m saying again ; i respect !! but if i m foreign, wht her family want to much Money !!
i will be honest...
i was talking a girl from here.. we were frined , good friend.. and i talked about myself, she talked about yourself.. our work, our salary.. bla bla.. After a certain time we've loved each other.. and she told me , Thai tradition.. i said ; ok :) but her family wanted from me 1 million baht! 25.000 $ !!! im shocked.. i can give this money.. but we are not same status... and she said me that ; '' you have to give that money'' so i wanted to learn.. it s true or not :)
Think about it , i have Money and i want use this Money for my wife , my kids, my wife job or something..
