[GLHunter]

i guess u are referring to the wedding held in thailand then.u said she loves u very much.Hmm how about ur love for her then??hehe kidding anyway its up to individual how much u want to spend on the wedding itself.Its kinda based on ur own budget and how u want to make it "big".If u want make it big,u can spend even a million baht[S$40k] on it...if u want to keep it simple,u can just invite some friends plus her relatives and stuff.There is no right or wrong anyway.It still beats having a wedding dinner in spore at Fullerton Hotel.Cheaper definitely in thailand.

so who's the lucky girl??

I agree fully with Bro JunIchI, The amount of money to be spent on wedding depends on the individual. Main thing is that you and your gal enjoy every single bit of it. Look at the typical Singaporean, they spend so much on wedding, finally in 2 years time, divorce.

I married my wife in Vietnam. It was a simple wedding. One thing is for sure, spend within your means, don't borrow to get married.

be it in thailand or singapore, the cost is up to how much you are willing to spend. you future wufe and you (and likely family from both sides) will have to decide how grand the wedding is. for example the cost of holding it in intercontinental and maxx is vastly different.

a consideration is whether she is a bangkokian or from up country. this will determine where the wedding is held. there might be both as you may do one in her hometown and another in bangkok. there is also dowry to consider.

i have attended a few weddings in thailand and they are similar to how the singapore ones are hosted. only difference is that there will be a VVIP invited and he/she will give blessings to the couple.

hope the above info helps.

My idea of wedding dinner, book abt 3-4 tables. Invite close friends n relatives of hers in Thailands, get some close friends of mine from SG to go Thailand to attend.

Back in SG, same 3-4 tables n invite close friends n relatives..... Total will cost abt SGD 10K.

Just eat n gather, dun go thru all those crap. I was 'bro' twice to my 2 best buddies. Knn f tired, busy from day thru night, n have a prepare a lot of things before wedding dinner too.

think for a small banquet...THB$ 100K should be more than enough...

expect my invitation to Kon Kean in my PM soon.....

Depends on which part of LOS. For us, 100k฿ means BIGGGGG Banquet. 555.

Anyway our total budget (excluse of ze ring) is about S$5k cos that is what we think we can accumulate when that time comes. Unless the gods decide to be kinder to us than they already have. And we are NOT having it in BKK anyway Heng ah.

Bring your Photographer up better! At least u know your photo background will be unique. Unless u talking about studio shots. Sound like ur ger is a BKK ger? So traditional thai wedding attire or modern wedding gowns?

Wedding budget 250K baht is reasonable. Wish you the '幸福美满，喜上添子'！

I have done some professional ROM shootings but not marriage actual day shooting. If you need my help, I will certainly lend you a hand (if you willing to consider my first try in wedding shooting).

Just take care of my transport, meals, accommodation & etc and auspicious 'ang-bao' for me after your wedding night will do. Other than that, photographic charge (like films, batteries & etc) have to take into your account.
