Went to the reception of a Thai couple that had just got married. It was held in one of the local schools and there were over 500 guests.

It followed the usual format with a compere and dancing “girls!” . The food consisted of 5 courses including Tom Yam,Duck and fish courses along with Beer and Whisky on the tables.It is customary for guests to make a Donation in a sealed envelope which goes to offset the costs. The more money you have the higher the contribution you are supposed to make – but in reality nobody knows how much you gave.

We left before the end of the festivities because Tim had to go to work.
