Part 3 | A Thai Traditional Wedding in Nakhon Pathom

Our international friends and family visited our other home in Nakhon Pathom. This special celebration took place on December 20th, 2025

Our guests of honor:

Dr. Chadchart Sittipunt (The Governor of Bangkok)

Dr. Barry Lutz (University of Washington)

Dana Brolley (University of Idaho)

The main event was held at a hotel in Suan Saen Palm Training,Kasetsart Kamphaeng Saen Campus, approximately an hour’s drive from Bangkok Airport. This memorable day was divided into three sections:

Morning: Family Ceremony
The day began with a traditional Thai water-pouring ceremony

("Rod Nam Sang") where family and guests blessed the couple by gently pouring water

over their hands while offering good wishes.

This was followed by a Buddhist blessing ceremony with monks,

a common tradition to bring luck and prosperity to the couple.

Afternoon: Engagement Ceremony
The engagement ceremony followed Thai customs, including the "Sin Sod" (dowry) presentation,

symbolizing the union of our families.

It also included the exchange of engagement rings and other Thai cultural rituals.

Evening: Dinner Celebration

The day concluded with a joyful dinner reception where friends and family gathered to celebrate.
