***Marriage Registration Made Easy
The routine of legal marriage registration isn't too complicated. Produce all required documents, present them to the officer at amphur ... and shortly after, you'll have your marriage certificates.***

....Thai marriage at large and definitely the ceremony of traditional Thai wedding interlinked with an ancient tradition called sinsod (sinsot). A custom of paying a dowry (dowery) to compensate a family of bride. A concept of sinsod was initially brought in to ensure that one's daughter does not marry below her potential standing in life. To stipulate that her social, financial and professional status and reputation is preserved and secured.Before the in-law family accepts you they should know who you are and whether or not you are a suitable suitor. There is no set amount for sinsod, the sum is typically determined on the one hand by suitor's wealth and on the other hand by the "value" of the future wife. Her beauty, personality, background, education and other qualifications, if she is a virgin, or has got a child and so forth.As an aside yet practical for some fellas comment, and without any attempt to overlook the value of the Thai brides, a dowry is normally waived in case of re-marriages.
Nowadays, many parents-in-law hand the dowry back to the married couple as a wedding gift, some families do not require a dowry, and some need to keep the money. Traditionally, sinsod is reciprocated by the parents-in-law. More often than not, a part of the money is used to pay for the wedding ceremonies, parties and other related expenses. Dowries or sinsod payments range from THB 50,000 to 250,000 and up, although these upper figures are rarely asked for, except the marriages amongst celebrities being motivated by extraordinary figures to create sensation....***
