THAI WEDDING

Warning, for those who are only interested in sex, filth and nudity – turn away. This is a piece on Thai cultural life.

 

I have just found some photos I took back in 2013 with my camera. I had finished with May and was introduced by Snoop Dog to a girl called Nalee, she was not in P4P and lived in Udon Thani.

 

We got on well and became close friends. I decided to take a long holiday in the summer (Good God during the cricket season) and came for 6 weeks. While were like brother and sister, I really had not recovered from may or found myself sexually attracted to Nalee. But we did get on well and enjoyed each others company.

 

I flew up to Udon and met Nalee we stayed a week in the Centara Hotel, flew To Ko Samui for a weeks (where Nalee used to work), then back to Udon and then for a week up to Chiang Mai.

 

Finally returning to Udon. During that period a friend of Nalee’s ,who lived about 10km from her village, which was itself 60 km to the north east of Udon. Had invited her to her wedding and extended an invitation to me.

 

We stayed at one of those resorts in a chalet. I had never been to a Thai wedding and this one was amazing.

 

The night before, she had to go and make flowers chains, so I hung around and watched the mad activity, with 20 girls threading beautiful flowers along strings.

 

The next morning up at 5.00 to arrive at wedding for 0630. The road the bride lived on was blocked off to traffic and was festooned with tents, tables and chairs. The locals were already, by 0700, hard at the Thai Whiskey and beer.

 

The house was decorated with large portraits of the couple and after the Monks had done their service, the girls went in pairs and stood along the drive holding the flower garlands across the path. The bride stayed in her house with her family, the groom then gathered his followers and carrying large trays bearing gifts and accompanied by music made his way to his bride. The girls holding the chains would only let him pass, if he gave them money (typically Thai) and as he approached each chain he gave each girl an enveloped with money in it.

 

Finally he made the house and presented the gifts and dowry he had to the bride and her family, she accepted and a short ceremony took place.

 

As usual the guests came in and approached the couple, putting their money gifts into a large pot and then putting a Buddah rope on the hand of which of the couple they represented.

 

Then the food and drinking began in earnest and most guests where well drunk by 11.00.

 

The couple where from good class families and were very rich by Thai standards, they both were professionals working in Bangkok.

 

I have tried to lay the photos in the order of the day. The brides dress and grooms suit were exquisite and must have cost a fortune. I was the only farang and Nalee and two of her friends where the only on speaking English, as well as the bride and groom.

 

It was a wonderful event, which I shall always remember. If you lot like this, I will follow it up with Village Life, Fauna/Agriculture/Flowers, Thai Life/Temples (for Jimbo)

 

I will see what you think

first three photo are of Nalee
