Ardon Rodthong, 58, says he'll pay his future son-in-law ten million Thai baht, the equivalent of roughly $314,000, to marry his 26-year-old daughter Karnsita. He added that he'd also give her future husband the massive durian fruit farm he owns in Chumphon province, southern Thailand, which is worth several million dollars.

In a post on social media, Rodthong highlighted some of his daughter's character traits, including that she helps run his business, speaks English and Chinese, and is a virgin.

Rodthong owns the largest durian fruit farm in the region, which processes about 50 tons of fruit per day, according to the Daily Mail. Durian is known for its pungent smell, earning it the nickname as the world's smelliest fruit.

I first found out about my father's post when my friends showed me. I was surprised but I can see the funny side to it, too," she said. “At first, I thought my dad was joking but it turns out he’s seriously looking for a son-in-law. My siblings and I respect his decision,” she added, according to Malay Mail.

The family has reportedly been inundated with responses to the post, in which Rodthong says he just wants a "diligent man" for his daughter.

"I want someone to take care of my business and make it last. I don't want a person with a bachelor's, or master's or philosopher's degree," he said.

"I just want someone with a hard-working attitude. That's all."

Marry her, sell the farm, bro down

 

[Lanrutcon]

I'd take him up on his offer, but I identify as a lazy person.

 

[Cunth]

hehe rod thong

 

[Chairman Tickles]

This was the wrong way to go about this. Now 1,000+ professional bro vultures will descend on his daughter, 100% interested in the cash and business.

 

[Papa]

If she smells of durian, no thanks

 

[Shifty]

Staaaaand

and deliverrrr

I'll give you money and a wife

 

[Elcid]

Fuck if I was single I'd take this up. That sounds like a sweet fucking deal.

*meanwhile in REEEEEEEE*
"OMG what a sexist monster can you believe he's assuming schler's gender and trying to auction schler off like a prize to be won!?"

 

[triplestation]

Love is in the air my dude

 

[ResilientBanana]

I think my wife would be cool with it.

 

[Hulk_Smash]

She... ain’t bad looking.

How much you wanna bet the father goes for someone that already has money and connections.

 

[-Minsc-]

She... ain’t bad looking.

How much you wanna bet the father goes for someone that already has money and connections.

I.e., someone who knows how to run a business and not run his into the ground.

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

My worry is.... what's the catch.

 

[Mohonky]

This like like the Willy Wonka if Wonka ran a Durian farm and had a daughter....

 

[n0razi]

My worry is.... what's the catch.

She's actually a dude..... it is Thailand after all

 

[kingwingin]

youd be stupid not to go for it

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

I can speak English and Chinese! Pick me Mr. Rodthong pick me

 

[TrainedRage]

Can I keep her family name as my own?

 

[slugbahr]

Can I keep her family name as my own?

Trained Rodthong?

 

[AnotherOne]

Lmao the plane taking off gif

 

[slugbahr]

youd be stupid not to go for it

 

[kingwingin]

She's actually a dude..... it is Thailand after all

I’m not gay, but $314,000 and a durian farm is $314,000 and a durian farm.

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

How do we know Mr Rodthong doesn't have a vagena?

 

[ThatStupidLion]

how do I apply? my wife said go for it.

 

[mcjmetroid]

My worry is.... what's the catch.

You gotta prove your worth!

 

[Blam]

With looks like that im surprised shes single

 

[synchronicity]

If she smells of durian, no thanks

Having been married to a Vietnamese girl for about 20 years, I concur. (Although to be fair, I did get somewhat used to the smell over time.)

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Is she unable to find a partner? What is she me? This is kinda sad.

 

[AV]

 

[cryptoadam]

She's actually a dude..... it is Thailand after all

Or facebook angles, you get there and bam 300 pounder.

 

[Shifty]

My worry is.... what's the catch.

The business is a nightmare to run and / or doomed.

I'll pay you to take it off my hands, son-in-law!

 

[infinitys_7th]

She's actually a dude..... it is Thailand after all

I was going to say it could be like that Drew Carey episode with the furry girlfriend, but yeah, I sense a trap.

 

[Grinchy]

It's interesting that her running the business for him is not even a remote possibility in anyone's head.

 

[Thurible]

Is she a catholic who likes videogames?

 

[infinitys_7th]

It's interesting that her running the business for him is not even a remote possibility in anyone's head.

I think it is more interesting that "virgin" is listed as a character trait.

 

[God Enel]

Im in. Where do I have to sign?

 

[demigod]

I love durian, where do i sign up?

 

[iconmaster]

If she smells of durian, no thanks

Correct. The key fact here is durian. That's why the reward is so high.

My worry is.... what's the catch.

Durian is the catch.

 

[Whitesnake]

 

[iconmaster]

Mmmmmm

The smell "has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage."

 

[Makariel]

The king of fruits! I thought in Thai culture the groom has to pay dowry to the bride's family, how desperate is that guy?

 

[Pejo]

It just warms my heart to see that the plane.gif meme has survived. It was a bannable offense during the dark days here, but it was always one of my favorites.

Cheers OP!

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

So... the fruit stinks, but it's a huge hit in China (tourist delicacy, too!) which means guaranteed business... you get a wife and enough money to clear debt... hmm...

If I can sit in my own farts, I can do a lifetime of durian!

I had no idea it was bannable lol. I do remember the first time I saw it (was it NinjaScooter?) I cried laughing.

I lol'ed so fucking hard at that gif

 

[brap]

Mmmmmm

Legitimately looks like turds covered in mustard

 

[demigod]

It only smells bad if you leave it out in the open. Once you taste it you’ll love it. The good kind is expensive, i bought one last year and it was $60. I bought a cheaper one a couple months ago and it costed like $25 in TX.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

What does Durian taste like?

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighway toooooooooo the danger zooooooooooooone!

Power of Asian makeup skills and angles. She actually looks like a version of him with long hair in natural lighting.

 

[demigod]

Its hard to explain, go buy one and try it. I guarantee you’ll like it.
