Hi, what are your thoughts on Sin Sod and how is it worked out, do thai families still keep it or do they give it back after the wedding?

Hello, does sinsot (dowry) still happens in Thailand, even among the modern Thai women?

Just a few questions...

My Thai fiancé has told me the sin sot might he 500,000.

Later I was told it is 300,000.

Next it was 200,000.

But I should have another 100,000 just in case.

I have purchased a gold engagement gift a (ring and a bracelet).

Several days later I was told I also need to buy a necklace.

To me something just doesn’t feel right, am I being manipulated, or am I over reacting.
