Torneyboy Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Our first wedding anniversary is coming up in October. Do Thais celebrate these? Falangs give a gift and as the years go by more is attached to the celebrations. Paper/diamond/gold/ruby and so on. Or is it just another day in Thailand, will do something but just wondering what is expected or not :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 I think it depends on the couple. The majority of the Thai couples I know here don't do much other than having dinner somewhere. That's what I did. My wife's family doesn't even celebrate birthdays. :: Only a gift or two for the lucky one and that's it. For me it's another reason to raise a glass.

Guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Don't care what anyone else does,,,,just make sure YOU don't forget. So you don't confuse the traditional presents, my g/f suggests diamonds or cash or gift certificates are perfect any year. You are not in Thailand, neither is she. Get with the program.

sky brow Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hi torneyboy, From what I have experienced,Thai women will not forget the anniversary of marriage or birthday etc. Although I am not aware of anything like western tradition of paper,diamond,ruby.So dinner and a nice piece of jewelery should(better) be on your agenda.Just to show how much you love her.Even though you may need to mention it at least once a day. :: Congrates on 1 year and many more to come. cheers sky brow.

khunsanuk Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hi, "Even though you may need to mention it at least once a day." What is it with this? My wife asks me every single evening if I love her, and every time I give her the same answer. Thai women seem to me very insecure. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sky brow Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hi KS, Mine does the same.Nearly everyday.She will ask me with a look on her face like I have never told her I love her,although I did just yesterday.And when I say,yes of course I do.She starts bouncing around the room with a grin from ear to ear.Its nice to watch.I sometimes think it comes from insecurity but she rarely seems insecure inanything else.Then I put it down to a girl thing,maybe a bit of both. cheers sky brow.

In all my limited knowledge about That/Thai relationships, I have the impression that Thais don't mention it a lot at all. You say once that you love somebody and that lasts for about half a lifetime. You said it once so why should it change?? My wife didn't read that phrase in that book neither BTW!
