Krabi wedding parade carries 2 million baht dowry
A parade of 6 trucks and trailers to celebrate the wedding of a local couple in Lamtab District, Krabi, drew a lot of attention from people in the area.
The groom is 32 year old Tharapong Srisuk, who is a former sub-district chief and the bride is 27 year old Pitchaya Boonmuang. The trailers decorated with flowers carried the groom, his groomsmen, families and friends with the dowry including 2 million Baht in cash, 20 Baht of gold and a diamond necklace worth about 500,000 Baht heading towards Lamtab – Prudinna route for 7 kilometres to the bride’s house in Pru Dinna Sub-District.
The relative of the groom explained that he chose to use the trailers because his career was to transport palm oil with this vehicle which provides him with wealth so he uses his own trailers as well the ones from his business friends for the wedding.
