getting back on the topic of paying sin sod I think eddies answer was best if you promise to pay then pay it and quit bitching speaking for my self if I make a commitment or a promise I live by it
no excuses to weasel out later on now I did not pay sin sod my wife parents were deceased when I met her so no sin sod was in order now the question is would have I paid i think so if the amount was reasonably by my standards and I also think I would have set the amount I was willing to pay

Why are people upset by this statement? He simply states that most of the people he knows in Thailand are married to BG. He did not say it in an insulting manner; just a statement of fact from his perspective.

I'd have to say that roughly half of the people I know in Udon are married to former BG. This is just a fact. Okay, I guess it's time for my face to be ripped off.

It's also a farang myth that no sinsod is ever paid for a non-virgin. I have attended a Thai + Thai wedding where the man was divorced with 3 kids and the woman was also divorced. He paid sinsod of 60K baht. Both were in their late 20's.

I agree with butternut, 1 He states he has married BG pro, and 2 MOST of the people HE KNOWS have done the same, maybe he knows 5 or maybe he knows 50 people
If he said ALL the people HE KNOWS married BG and were Pros that could be very well true, Unless of course you know him and your wife was not a BG/Pro then you could say Butternut thats not true I know you and my wife is not a BG Pro, Iam sure Butternut would apologise

Never did he say all Udon farang wifes are ex BG or Pros.

Us humans will jump at any thing for a fight, with out taking the time to enquire and read what the author was trying to put across in a patience manner

Good post aznyron, I agree completely with "i think so if the amount was reasonably by my standards and I also think I would have set the amount I was willing to pay". I paid but of course I was told that the amount was up to me. So I made it simple... put a US$100 note in an envelope and gave it to mom. No hassle and no questions. I can honestly say, I've been 'repaid' several times over.

Well I resurrected this topic from over 2 years ago, really just because I thought the report about Tata Young might be of mild interest to some.
I can't help comparing however the response from current members to that of the replies of members of 2006, far more aggressive and in my mind, definitely not so friendly.Whatever has happened to us?

Trubrit I agree...
Can only hope that it is the wet spell that we are going through that is damping spirits & the forum will return to people at least respecting the opinion of others - even if they are diametrically opposed to their own - as it improves...

People are far too sensitive and don't realise when they're being wound up.

Anyway, moving back on topic.

I accepted the whole Sin Sod thing when I got married but I was never asked to pay wads of cash by the Outlaws. When it came to the ceremony, I realised that I had used up all my hard cash. My eldest Sister in law graciously stepped in and thrust some money into my hand before the do and I handed it over to the Mother in law on the day. Sister in law recovered her cash the next day and face was saved in front of the neighbours and friends.

I've helped out various people in the family since then, pay for a niece's tuition fees or stump up for a new Sala in the yard. I've no issues with that because I've been with this family since 1989.

point of info I will be more tolerant and shut my mouth when some clown decides to post insulting B/S while hiding behind his keyboard
I know that it going to be very difficult for me to adhere to my own rules
but I will give it the old school boy try also on another point of interest every member I met in person is nice & respectful

Sign 'o the times trubrit?

We are all getting to be the cranky ol' buggers we liked to poke fun at before. Maybe the udonmap glee club needs an introspective.

where can you buy a broken leg from...?

From a broken leg shop.

Normally found on the 2nd floor of the orthopaedic wards. Just a hop skip and a jump from the Podiatrists Clinic.

Most Japanese motor cycle shops also have specials on these.

Free Broken leg with every bike sold within the first 6 months of purchase.

Wonder if they have special offers on like 'buy one get one free' to keep just in case....
