hi Ian , as you are aware i live in the "rice bowl" of Thailand and looking at the ratio of men to women at planting and harvest time i am left in no doubt whatsoever that the ladys are the backbone of the rice farming community , regards , Colin .

Rooster - I'll support and second Juan's opinion : it is indeed always good to get your posts.
Thanks for informing us so well about Thai culture.
I hope Erica takes note of what you write above about virgin marriage !

Dowery and bride pride aside, the gloom is still responsible for bride gifts. Bride gifts are still separate from the dowery. These bride gifts are to adorn her on the wedding day and as for her treasure chest that can be inherited to her children. In Thai tradition, gold jewelries are commonly used as bride gifts.
