On this special INTER-CONTINENTAL episode of Bangkok Podcast,
Greg and Tony connect via Skype to talk about Greg's recent
wedding. 


Getting married in Thailand is a very ceremonial process that
involves two ceremonies, 9 monks, and hundreds/thousands/millions
of baht in dowry (prices vary greatly). Greg talks about what he
went through with his wedding, from his first day of planning as
an ultra-naive n00b to a happily married man. There's lots to
consider - should you get a wedding planner or not? How many
people will you invite? Will it be the oh-so-romantic beach
wedding or a more traditional hotel ballroom event? What do you
do about gifts? It all worked out wonderfully for Greg and Aom,
but it was a lot of work and toil.


Greg and Tony also discuss the latest topics in Thailand from
what the Thai government is doing to assure Japanese investors
that their factories won't be flooded out again, to how it's
possible to lose and recover 13 million baht in gold in a
taxi. Greg also gives us an update on his latest project -
Bangkok Scientifique.
