I can only say that my Thai wedding has been one of the most exotic, magical and happiest days of my life. As a Western guy, I was fortunate to have both my parents and my brother attending my wedding which made it a much more special day given that everyone had to travel from different parts of the world. Thai people are the most humble and charismatic humans on earth.
We had a similar ceremony in Northwest Thailand. I feel a part of the community and I love my family in Thailand and the people in the village so much! I was 60 and my wife was 59 and it’s interesting to see how many people were surprised that us old folks can fall in love! Thank you so much for your videos! I know it takes time from your personal life to create such high-quality well narrated videos. For you, your family, your village, and all people from Thailand I pray: ขอให้ปราศจากศัตรู ภยันตราย ทุกข์ทางใจ ทางกาย และทางใจ ขอให้สรรพสัตว์ทั้งที่มองเห็นและมองไม่เห็นในทุกมิติและทุกภพทุกชาติอำนวยพรแก่ท่าน ขอให้สรรพสัตว์ทั้งหลายสัมผัสได้ถึงความสงบและความสุขภายใน สาธุ สาธุ สาธุ
I also live in rural Thailand near a village. “Community family” is truly the theme with this type of life in the countryside. They seem to accept one another despite each other’s faults or ( for some) craziness. Your narrative is excellent about this wedding ceremony. Thanks for posting.
A lovely ceremony I hope these traditions last for a long time to come, it's traditions like this that keeps families close and happiness and hope alive.
One important thing that you should keep in mind when discussing Thai dowry is that its amount is based on your Thai fiancee’s status, education, occupation and other related social background information (such as her virginity). An average middle-class, university-educated Thai lady deserves a dowry of 100,000- 300,000 baht. A dowry of a million baht for an uneducated lady of modest means is just ridiculous. Thai dowry prices fall drastically if your bride-to-be has been previously married, already has children, or is not a virgin anymore. In fact in most of these instances, no dowry deserves to be paid. Thai dowry, however, is usually symbolic in nature and will normally be returned to the married couple after the wedding, so as to help them start on their new life.
Congratulations to the new couple. Its always fun to take part in such a celebration. I think everyone everywhere can appreciate such a vibrant and rice-laden wedding.
I got married 13 years ago and my knees are still aching from kneeling for about one and a half hours during our ceremony. So happy i met my lovely wife. From Surin.
Thank you for such an insight into the Thai wedding ceremonies. I now understand much more of our wedding in Nakhon Pathon I for 120 fam and friends. 3 of the best days in my life…
Thank you for the informative video. I will be getting married in 2 weeks, also in a rural village in Buriram Province where we make our home. In the short time I've lived here I have seen the communal bond of the people. For instance, this weekend is a Monk ordination ceremony for a young man living close by. Many of the village women have been preparing enough food for entire village of about 600 people.
Thanks Ryan, it reminds me of the 3 similar marriages that I have been to in the villages around Khon Kaen and Chum Phae. At one I went to there was a part of the ceremony where the families of the bride and groom ceremonially barter over the amount of Sin Sod, which was done with much good humour and alcohol! Alcohol seems to be the fuel that keeps most village ceremonies going 🤣😂 As a non drinker I find it all very amusing. God bless you, Damo, and the boys 😀❤🙏
Great video! I (and some other farangs) got invited by our hotel/resort owner and attended a wedding party on Koh Tao in 2004-ish. Location behind a petrol station😃. Father of the bride was singing on a stage. And some dancers that had not so many clothes on🤔. The food was 👌. Donation 500 bath. Great experience... Thank you for reminding me of that😁 Have a great day 🖖
In Europe we had something similar around 50 years ago called "Mitgift" which goes in the same direction. When I was about to marry my Thai wife, I was quite scared of that topic. The family actually wanted quite a bit of money but my wife did not agree on the amount and in the end I played around 700$ just to keep face. There are cases where the sin sod is quite high but no need to support the family. In my case, I support them since 15 years and that's ok. Regardless where your partner comes from, a relationship will always cost money :-) Nothing is for free really in this world.
Great video on Thai life. I was married in Pattaya in a Muslim ceremony. Same community atmosphere. In any serious event, the community pulls together and it's so refreshing to be a part of that. We had nephew that died in an accident and the community response was amazing. Nobody in the family was alone for days as people came from all around and supported the family. The Thai way to manage dying is also worth exploring more on your channel. I know you went through some with Uncle Monk not long ago. It's just interesting the concept of death in Thailand. The Buddhist thinking changes their perceptions on the topic. Even in out Muslim community, it's very different.
Same thoughts . I got married after three months of knowing my wife which looking back was crazy but we are still together six years later and this video brought back all my special memories of the day . I got my Sinod back bar 20,000 bhat without even asking . I built my wife a home which was something I wanted to do and was not press ganged into doing. It’s the best decision I ever made and I love every minute of being together . My wife was married before and I think it taught her to appreciate the love of a good man.
Lovely ceremony ❤ many congratulations to the couple. The tradition is very similar to the malay weddings in Brunei, minus the monk, replaced with an Imam 😅.. however I do love the bridesmaid 'barrier' session..same as in malay weddings, we have that too! I once in my life participated in that tradition and I got $300 for 'blocking' the groom from the groom to let him enter the bride's home. So much fun! Peace and love to all ❤
Wonderful! You say that rural Thai people may not have much but in real terms they have much more than us in the West. We could learn a lot in the West from ceremonies like this, rather than a wedding which may include drunkenness and noise, envy, materialism.
Gold and money paid at our wedding were returned after the ceremony. We used the money for a down payment on a new home in Bangkok. Many times if you see gold displayed at a wedding, it isn't real gold. It's mostly for a show!
I recently returned from Thailand and while there was a guest of the inner circle of the brides family for her wedding. Started at 7am and finished at mid night. If it was a movie it would have been a blockbuster from Bollywood. Was full of human spirit and joy. As an observer I couldn't help but think about the ' spare no expense ' attitude in certain communities where ' expense ' can be the difference between misery and joy. I think there would be some potential marriages out there that could generate more terror than joy for one side of the family because of this . 🤪🤣 Great video Ryan. 🙏🙏

Pretty much same as mine 10 years ago, great day lots of fun. Thank you for that, whilst it was explained to me at the time what would happen it was never explained why it was happening, why were we parading round at 7 in the morning, why were her sisters standing there with a string blockade and why were my feet getting a wash.
I love seeing them throwing rice they stopped it mostly in some USA churches etc because the mess they blow bubbles ! Beautiful and I love the community help that's heartwarming the Thai culture thanks for sharing this with us Damo looks beautiful!
I find it peculiar that there's such an enormous emphasis on money within a society that are generally too poor to actually live up to it. I mean just 1,000 baht is very much for many of them, but to not lose face they have to show off that they have money (even if they don't). I've seen celebrations where families that normally have a hard time to even buy food, have to give money not to be looked down upon. Same thing with making merit at the temple, where it to many is about showing what a good person you are, which is of course shown by how much you give. I know a person who gave away all the land, animals and money the family had and now they live in total poverty, only to show the rest of the village what good persons they are... The ceremonies part from the focus on money are very nice and beautiful though.
So different from normal weddings Where the parents pay for everything…to treat the guests On their costs…the guests just came and enjoy…it’s a tradition treat ..
We never received the "life lessons on a happy marriage" Acceptance and understanding you learn when living together. Beautiful wedding ceremony! Thanks Ryan. All the best to you, Damo, Otis, and Hugo PS. It always seems the women are more happy than the men at the weddings.... 5555 or is it just my biased mind 5555
Well done Ryan you have produced a valuable reference video here. Perhaps it should be viewed for anyone who is planning marriage here in Isaan to help understanding the full significance of this commitment.
My Wife and I had a traditional Thai wedding, after the ceremony ,Everyone had to congratulate Us with a toast, I don't drink, so My Darling new bride had the responsibility, afterwards I had to carry Her around. 🤣
It's great that many people in the village are invited, but are there also people in the village who will have not been invited? If so, why would that be?
Ryan not sure if you know that all the envelopes and cash strapped to the bride and groom after entering the bedroom is removed and recorded in a book. All funds received are normally returned to the giver should there be a wedding in their family. Been there, regards . Oh and still happily there😆
Im Catholic in the U.S. We too throw rice at the bride and groom as they exit the church. I remember when I was a little boy throwing rice at my uncles wedding. It hit his bride in the eye and I felt terrible.
i had a similar ceremony 2018. paid 1 million bht sin-sod, clearly overpaid but i was told it would be returned to me. it was not. my ex-wife quit the marriage after just 9 months here in the US, in part, i believe, to receive a portion of the sin-sod (they tell their family the farang abandoned them). true story. Isaan weddings are beautiful, exceptional affairs, but i would recommend to all farang to ensure the sin-sod is returned after the wedding via legal agreement, or witnesses, etc.
Just remember, if she has been married before, the price goes down. Or her age has a factor. Glad they got married, but just keep your wits about you for getting married. I was once offered a young women for 1 million baht, I declined. Later she married a Thai man for 10,000 baht. Plus, if any of my boys want to marry. I will always check the other’s cellphone, in this day and age.

The sense of community and family is to be admired. Weddings cost money in every culture. I very much respect and enjoy the Thai tradition
Always fascinating to see a Marriage Ceremony in Thailand. Like all of their Ceremonies actually! So different to what we're used to.

We could all learn alot for a simpler happier life from rural Thailand. From a Canadian
Buy a plane ticket and go there
Great video!

It bought back memories of my own marriage in the province..nice one Ryan. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it

I'm from the UK and I married my wife recently in Trat completely different from a wedding in the UK but enjoyable
Nice sharing ❤❤🎉
Such a beautiful ceremony ❤
beautiful wedding culture
Thank you for sharing this beautiful couple’s wedding ceremony. So very interesting and heart warming. Congratulations!
Congratulations to the young couple.wishing them a happy life together,. A very interesting video . Great job
Thank you so much!
Ryan, When they have these weddings, does anyone have to sign any official paper work to make it official ?
Gold and money paid at our wedding were returned after the ceremony. We used the money for a down payment on a new home in Bangkok. Many times if you see gold displayed at a wedding, it isn't real gold. It's mostly for a show!
Been to 2 issan weddings they are great occasions and I loved every minute of them.
Another great video that made me learn more about Thai life. Thanks, Ryan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Bryan. Brilliantly described. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ryan, just want to pass onto you and Damo and Tis and Hugo that I enjoy your channel and for you to be easy. All is well.

I love these type of Thai traditional ceremonies.
That was my first trip to thailand, i was invited to a thai marriage, was long 7 days ...omg^^
Thanks for explaining the different stages of the wedding ceremony.
Wow! Tqvm for sharing …. So special … Sending love from Malaysia❤❤❤❤
great video - thank you
No one ever told me that there was a maximum of 1500b 😅😅😅
😂😂😂
My Wife and I had a traditional Thai wedding , i don't drink alcohol , so She had to toast each table, I had to hold her up about half way through.
Very different but also very beautiful thanks Ryan for sharing
12:03 😂
That was so cool
I love the communal living, sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing! That was great!
nice thx ! Good luck to the happy couple !
Very interesting, Thanks Ryan.
Well done Ryan you have produced a valuable reference video here. Perhaps it should be viewed for anyone who is planning marriage here in Isaan to help understanding the full significance of this commitment.
Thank you 🙏
It is little bit similar with North East India's wedding
My Wife and I had a traditional Thai wedding, after the ceremony ,Everyone had to congratulate Us with a toast, I don't drink, so My Darling new bride had the responsibility, afterwards I had to carry Her around. 🤣
I remember doing all of this!!!! 20 January 2018!!
❤️🙏🏻Very interesting and I understand even more now why they are call the "Smiling people."💞💞💞💞
We're off in 3 weeks to Buriram from Australia to marry my Thai partner. Its good to watch the parades and cermonies to see what I'm in for 👍
What a Palava 🤦♂But i enjoyed every single min of it ,Lovely 😁Best of Health and Happiness to the Happy couple xx🙏
🙏😁🇹🇭
I was very surprised some of their traditions are the same as in Azerbaijan.. I think all asians are similar
Thai and Indian Weddings are so similar
It's great that many people in the village are invited, but are there also people in the village who will have not been invited? If so, why would that be?
Ryan not sure if you know that all the envelopes and cash strapped to the bride and groom after entering the bedroom is removed and recorded in a book. All funds received are normally returned to the giver should there be a wedding in their family. Been there, regards . Oh and still happily there😆
Im Catholic in the U.S. We too throw rice at the bride and groom as they exit the church. I remember when I was a little boy throwing rice at my uncles wedding. It hit his bride in the eye and I felt terrible.
Nice vid. cheers.
i had a similar ceremony 2018. paid 1 million bht sin-sod, clearly overpaid but i was told it would be returned to me. it was not. my ex-wife quit the marriage after just 9 months here in the US, in part, i believe, to receive a portion of the sin-sod (they tell their family the farang abandoned them). true story.

Wonderful wonderful video. Thank you
Wow! A lot of fun.
Thanks for creating and sharing bless the Coppell
Our pleasure!
This is alot of sinsud specially for thai couples
Beautiful respect..a beautiful life
This is the Thailand I like.
Really interesting thankyou ❤
You’re welcome 😊
You live in a magical world.
Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Just remember, if she has been married before, the price goes down. Or her age has a factor. Glad they got married, but just keep your wits about you for getting married. I was once offered a young women for 1 million baht, I declined. Later she married a Thai man for 10,000 baht. Plus, if any of my boys want to marry. I will always check the other’s cellphone, in this day and age.
Nice wedding ceremony ❤
Beautiful ❤🇹🇭🇦🇺
People don't throw rice in my region.
Beautifully done.
Thank you very much!
This mixes pure Khmer-Thai culture, how to get married
its not shocking for most south asian people
You’re right 😁🙏
hope to see more video like this from you..a tradition or anything about real life in thailand..
Interesting video to watch. 👍🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
I remembered quite a few of the customs, the parade and baring, but I noticed in this case, no monks. Is this usual ?
apparently they stay private at the wedding but the parents and bride and groom see them in private! :)
Odd that, we had 9 monks at our wedding on 9 September 1999 which was supposed to be lucky 🤣
Tamil wedding also same
Lovely ❤I really want to visit
