    Dowery

    By Anonymous, Created on: 26/05/2004, Last updated on: 09/03/2007

    » Hello and thanks to all that responded to my last questions. Those of you who have been following my last questions thanks. I am set to marry in Nov or Dec and I talked to her family. My dowery is set at 2 milllion bath and I already gave a 200,000 bath strater to show that I was interested. What...

    • Anonymous commented : than this dowery could be the measurement of her values to her family. In Thai culture, gold is the measure of wealth and security. The 10 bahts of gold is equivalent to 10 US troy ounces. Well, gold in the open market is valuing $400 per troy ounce = 16,000 Thai bahts. The 10 bahts of gold would cost 160,000 Thai bahts. These 10 bahts are most likely to be your bride's jewelry's wedding gifts from you like ring, neck-lace, bracelets, belt, and ear rings. These golds are usually your bride property, security, and future family's jewelries. The cash of 200,000 Thai bahts dowery is for show and return to you and your bride later. If her family has outstanding loan from financing her education, than you may not see this money or partially returned to your new family. You just need to have an adult from your family or someone to representing you in the closed door negotiation process. Now, you have to remember that most of these traditions are for a show, a test, work ethic, character, and etc.. You should remember that every Thai parents want their daughter to marry well, which will reflect well to their friends and extended families. Please do not act like egocentric foreigner. Remember, you are representing your family and your race also.

    • Anonymous commented : t the ideal candidate. Do we measure the value of men by their possessions and how much money one can provide? What happen to those that can't provide? Are they then be condemed? I agree with you that life is not perfect. Life is full of obstacles. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. By the way, my life is so far fetched from the fairy tales.

    Solar Power

    By Anonymous, Created on: 29/03/2005, Last updated on: 31/03/2015

    » I dont understand why Thailand is not using the sun which is there 365 days/year. Can anybody tell me ? I am in the process of building a house but when it comes to solar energy i might have to import myself to only then be confronted with a high import tax on such products. And that while closing...

    • Anonymous commented : he drift!) There are so many measures we could take to get the ball rolling, yet as you say I think the lobbyists (coal as much or more than oil here in Oz) seem to have the inside running. Hopefully that'll change soon. Another thought - why don't we all use solar lawnmowers? Think about how often they're used, and how much time they spend sitting around when they could be connected to a solar panel - too easy! Cheers David

    • NodBad commented : ard, some scrap timber a tape measure and a pocket calculator hits the spot. Phillips made portable stirling engine generators in the 50s at affordable prices. They need have little more technology or cost than a lawnmower engine. ECC seemed to be approaching the ideal I'd dreamed of but are sat on their knowledge. Go on; someone rowst 'em up and buy one and publicise it. I dare ya! links: http://www.netmeter.org

    Changes and Effects of Foreign Business Act

    By Anonymous, Created on: 10/02/2007, Last updated on: 27/01/2015

    » The purpose of this act since 1970s, is though no one clarify openly, to protect local industry against the foreign market invasion. Therefore FBA is in fact Domestic Industry Protection Act. Since 1990s of open door policy, Thailand had promoted vigorously FDI - foreign direct investment of almost...

    • Anonymous commented : will show up with retaliatory measure, like raising this "Thai agenda' to international institute such as WTO and the damaged foreign firm wil sue to own court or international court. Such ghosts will hang around Thai economy and it will collapse in a morning. The buyer of free falling stock will be prohibited for next transaction until the legal claim is cleared. Then, Thailand will not be able to remain "Mai Pen Rai" status. I believe Thai policy makers will waste some more time until they realize the mistake. FBA is not such adhoc appointee's job and it must have been conveyed to the next legitimate government. They are real revolutionary than the military coup leaders are. What a nonsense !. Migo, your investment may await for next 10 years to fruit if any or written off like useless papers. Be scrupulous !. Always the world rolls beyond Thai wisdom.

In the west a Thai national receives residency once they are officially married to a western citizen. Procedures are followed and intensive...

    • Yasoboy commented : id Tuesday the intervention's measures had been overhauled to comply with the Act and reflect "special measures that help indigenous people in the Northern Territory achieve equal human rights". In February, two years after the apology, Rudd conceded progress towards improving Aborigines' lives had been too slow, with wide gulfs remaining in life expectancy, child mortality and health.

    How will you ever know?

    By Anonymous, Created on: 08/08/2007, Last updated on: 02/08/2009

    » How will you know if your marriage to your beautiful Thai wife is for real or a marriage of convenience? From my little experience of just divorcing my wicked charlatan Thai wife as all she wanted was an ILR (UK visa) and divorce money. I am questioning how many men on the planet are/have also been...

    • Anonymous commented : as developed good interim measures. No finance visas - unless you're a wealthy celebrity. Unlike the UK, it is now almost impossible for a bar-girl to scam her way into Oz. Howard's Australia has let in far more Thais than ever before - but only the better ones. Not the worst.
