I am a Southern lived in Hatyai who married with Farang. In my Thai traditional wedding ceremony, we had the money given to bride's parents and some other precious things for a bride since my groom wanted to marry in Thai traditional style as well as my wish.
My parents and family in Hatyai are social animal. They have many friends, colleagues and relatives. I am the3rd child in a family and I have an eldest sister who married with Thai and her groom also gave money to bride's parents. But we're proud to say that with both dauguter's marriages my parents did not take any a satang of the money given to them. As the belief, they kept it for 3 days and returned to us as well as the money which was also a big amount given by guests, mostly their friends, who came to our wedding ceremony.
At the beginning, A family of my groom was not happy and did not believe that my parents would really give back the money, maybe they thought if it was them they will never do it but we did. That also learned them alot more how thai people think about the money.
I have been happy that I could do that for my family about the wedding. I do not care how other people think but I do care about my family esp, my parents because without them i do not have today. My dad worked hard and my mom devoted her whole life for looking after the children. if there is something I can make them happy and do not take advantage on anyone, I will not hestitage to do so for them.
I am living in Europe and working in my professional career which i am very proud and really realise more and more that without my parents supported on the education when i was young, I would never be in this office among the White. With my own salary, I now can look after them in a return though they have never asked for but i know they're happy and be proud of me as well.
Straight to the point, I do not agree if the bride's parents will keep the money in ceremony for themselves. The charge of looking after a daugther is not applicable and reasonable for taking the money because the groom also costed his parent for looking after too.
Also disagree for the case that Thai women ask the money from their farang husbands for their parents in Thailand. I am wondered that how many Thai men are asked by thier wives for this kind of money and how many of them will do so. A few or mostly not? for me, I hardly see it.
Try to see Farang's point of view, Regarding their cultures, they do not look after their parents by money. So it is not easy to understand why they do need to give the money to their wives' parents, right?
Same to you, If you work hard and have to look after your own family, do not give money to your own parent. Do you please to give away your money to other? I will simply say No! unless I earn too much.
