paulc31 Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi toneyboy, >>My wife just told me at many weddings the couples are given these by many guests..so they end up with 10 or more on their arms..for good luck and happiness. Take off after 3 days.<< Your wife is correct, when I was in Thailand this April I went up to my TGF village to meat her parents While I was in village we celebrated both of your birthdays a day apart We also had the good luck ceremony ( I call it our good luck & engagement ceremony) We had a small ceremony and her family and friends tied strings around our wrist :: My TGF asked me not to remove them for about 5 days for good luck, I still have mine on from April and promised her I wouldn't that them off until she made to the States she also kept hers on for good luck and until she makes it to the States paulc31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markle Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Also this is a very Issan thing to do, it's not as common in the Central region. Alot of these things depend on the sentiment you attach to it. My Thai sister plaided a few strings from a local temple which I wore until they dropped off a couple years later. But I'd cut off those ones you get at weddings after a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 >Just took a scissor and cut them off. You did that? I thought my esteem for their wrist starps was low..still, invested some time (and some saliva) to untie them. Tried to play by their rules, although none of them could see me 33K feet above the ground and a few K miles away. You were right to play by the rules, the network is all around us.
