     b) I spent many years spending hundreds of thousands buying a
         variety of gifts for her, and even paid 150K THB towards her Masters
         degree as an investment in our future, and now that she has all of
         these things (plus Sin Sod and Klong Man), she walks away without cause

     f) I helped give Parinyanuch the wedding event she wanted - I was not given the wedding I wanted
     g) I am now embarrassed in front of my friends, my family, and my church




Conflicted evidence from Parinyanuch:
     a) In her original response, Parinyanuch seemed to claim conflicting
positions. She first stating the wedding was never to be registered,
so what I gave was an unconditional gift, but then she also claims,
that part of Sin Sod was returned to me, and in her counter-claim, she
indicated half of the gold was also given to me. Why would anything be returned
to me if it were an unconditional gift? Shouldn't she be required to pick
one defense or the other?
     b) In her original claim, my understanding is that Khun Parinyanuch
alleged that I accepted 500K cash and declined gold that was offered to me (presumably after the ceremony). In her counter-claim filed in February, she appears to be claiming I was offered and accepted both the 500,000 cash and 20 baht of gold.


Interesting questions to be asked of Parinyanuch:
     a) why did I only receive 378,000 and not the full 500,000 on 6/9/2011?
     b) who allegedly offered Sin Sod cash to me? when did this occur?
     c) who allegedly offered Sin Sod gold to me? when did this occur?


In response to K. Parinyanuch's allegation of insulting and looking down
on her family (her brother), the following evidence can be considered.
