Any suggestions for a wedding gift?

Cash or gold is very good.... During the wedding people present baht to the bride and groom.....Jewlery for mom and sister are great try learn say hello and thank you in Thai it helps alot

For a wedding, yes, all of those are appropriate / usual gifts. However, when invited to stay as a guest, a gift from you home country is expected. Bring something really "American" and they will like it. Things that cost more here (because of import and market) are Western perfumes, skin care products, and some foods (teas, spices, packaged mixes, etc). Hope this helps!

If you are looking to buy the wedding gifts for your brother. See if marriage is taking place with all India traditions and culture then I would suggest you to gift a metal statue of goddess Laxami & lord Ganpati.

If not then you can gift a pair of wrist watches.

Perhaps you can check if she is the hilltribe or local people. They have their believes and tradition. Firstly I second dsuffix. Somethings from USA will be very good. Because for wedding gift it concerns with believes and faces as well. However easiest thing is get somethings in pairs.
