Counting the dowry in the groom's house before the wedding. The man on the
right in the striped jacket performed the wedding. He is counting out money
while the man with the microphone on the left announces the amount of money
note by note. The groom's mother is in the centre. The Christmas tree
thing in the middle is an important part of the wedding but I don't know
what it's called. It must have been taken from the groom's house to the
bride's house by truck during the procession as I can see no sign of it in
the procession.
I am a professional artist living in Perth Western Australia and NE Thailand. My web gallery Peach Tree Gallery is the first and oldest in the world. I have lived in Thailand on and off for over a decade and my wife owns Mekong House which is the home of the Thailand Painting Holidays guesthouse owned and operated by her sister.
