I have no clue at all, but Google may help

Thsnks. That was helpful.
I had already read the first article, but not the second.
Hopefully more people will post.

Slow it up , meet the family , if you have met your future wife and not the family then you still know nothing about her! Family will make up 90% of your relationship, this might prove to be good or bad, taking care of their daughter will be enough for good families, but one or more will always be in your pockets, just like in the good ol USA , ha but family plays a Hugh roll in your relationship, you might not know it yet, but you will find out, my best advice buy something really nice for her mother, always give any money or gifts to the mother, they are better able to handle it, women run the show here and all of Southeast Asia, you need more time don’t rush, get to know the situation, but not all family expect money, see if they have good intentions, you cannot see this until you arrive, the culture is so different it takes a while for a westerner to understand, but it’s good to understand and for them to understand NO

Thanks. I do plan to meet the family.
A gift? Of money? How much?
Is there a custom to follow, so as not to appear crass?

Better a nice gift , practical, but not money first time this would in my opinion lead to someone who expecting money, nice cooking items, or depending on the women , I always bring a bottle of Dior perfume to my ex lady lady in Phnom Penh , she has been overly kind to me, her husband nothing, but he’s happier than her, she knows it’s real from USA and she knows it’s expensive, but a province woman might like something more practical, I would bring her a Hugh fruit display and flower display gotten at the market, then figure out what they need, I bought a microwave for a friends mother in the province, she loved it, the Phnom Penh landlady has more sophisticated taste , ha but 150$ worth of Dior, I’m a hero each time , head of house women, please her ,,,,and your golden!

That would land lady ha

Sounds like good advice.
