I am wondering because I have no idea.  Let's give honest answer or opinion   :)

She's got to pay me instead. I would like a bmw and some seafood dinner.

Umm...I have no idea either. but we should ask the local....like Miss Admin or someone just married! But I guess it's depend on how the family is. for example if she is come from a middle class, you expect to pay more than the Girl from the country side that has low statue. And if you lucky to get a girl from the Higher statue, you will have to pay for the premium.    

I'll let you guys know after my trip. ahahahha ;D

I guess, you are going back to talk to you future in-law. I wish you all the luck and happiness...and don't forget to check out about my post poll in  "Things You should Know About nice Laos girl!"and please leave some commons there. Good-luck and treat them well you will get a high return!

In Cambodia you can buy a wife for $2000, In Vietnam About $3000-$4000, I think $3000 is just about right for a Lao country girl.
Of course if you prefer to be bought instead, they can pay you up to $70,000 if you can get them to US, Canada, EU or Australia, of course not Russia.
So buy or sell it's up to you, it a free market, salute to the capitalism.

You sound very naive of treat your future wife like a toy or slave to you that you can buy.... if you have that in mind before you head to Laos. I would wish you get what you deserve for......

Most of the younger generation treat Married like a contract. that why the divorce rate is hight. I have been married to my wife for 25 years now. She stuck with me when I diagnosed having Tumour in my brain before we were married.Losing Business and venture twice and still be on your side no matter what! This is the women you want to married not the women you can buy for just a Monthly wage!

macro, buying a wife at a price is never good.  It is going to cost you your life savings (I would say suicide).  Selling yourself off like some whore isn't going to solve  anything either.  You could still get screwed over/ turn in to authorities for fraud.  Your life is going to be behind bars or deported back to your homeland. :)  Are you willing to take that risk?

Guys,

 Don't be too serious about this.
 Whether we like it or not, it's the reality, supply & demand, it's how capitalism works, who ever got the most money wins, sounds sad, it is !, how to fix the problem, I just don't know, otherwise they would send someone to shut me up permenantly.
  Mr. Tee, you're very lucky to have a wife link this, it's not something money can buy, after all, marriage is like buying Lotto, you got to be lucky.
  A friend of mine went back to VN and married a pretty girl 18 years his junior and came back to SYD, it was 14 years ago and now they have 2 kids and still stay together, I always teast him that he have bought a good dump one (good to stay with him, dump don't know to kick him out of the house, make him pay maintenance for the kids and marry someone younger and richer, she replies with a smile and warn him to watch out)
 Several other friends got marry here and end up divorce. So you just have to be lucky to get (not find) a good one.
 As for me, it could be better or worse, she stick to me like glue, I treat her like comodity and she treat me like a fool, I do complain a lot so does she, till dead we do part, for we both know that to win anoter lotto is not damn easy.
