Thailand's strange customs and culture of "renting wives"
Thailand is a Buddhist country. With its changeable scenery and rich cultural connotations, it has become a unique choice for many tourists in their vacation plans. Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Chiang Rai, Hua Hin, Samui, etc. are tourists 'favorites. Thailand has also become one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world.
In this country where the sex industry is completely legal, in order to escape poverty, young Thai girls also use Thailand's prosperous tourism industry to develop a unique business of "renting wives." Tourist hotspots such as Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya are all home camps for "renting wives". For example, Patong area of Phuket is everywhere. On the local streets, it is easy to find "renting" beautiful women, as well as fat and old Western men holding the arm of young girls.
Wives can also rent out. This may be a strange thing that many people have never heard of, but it is very common in Thailand. Many people come to Thailand to find a temporary wife they think is beautiful. In Thailand, Western tourists with fair or dark skin are regarded as rich people, so Thai girls generally prefer European and American men, and the best candidates to rent wives are mostly Westerners. Many foreigners travel to Thailand and use the black girls they find locally as "rented wives" and provide a full range of wife services to "sell" women, also called "black pearls."
Although renting a wife and prostitution are both selling the body, there is one big difference between the two. Many "black pearls" rent out their own purposes. In addition to money and material life, many girls have the purpose of long-term relationships with their renters. This kind of temporary "marriage" originally based on interest relationships may also breed love, which is a very unique feature of the "renting wife" culture. It is for this reason that the rental industry is very prosperous and particularly attractive in Thailand.
Not ordinary girls can enter the business of renting wives. The girls known as "black pearls" also have strict requirements, such as age, appearance, expression, character, communication, temper, etc. Most of them are young girls in their prime. Not only do they have to fulfill all the obligations of their wives, but they also work part-time as travel guides. Tenants spend money to "buy music" and will never allow these young girls to lose their temper at all times. Of course, these renters must be generous and must fully provide for all the expenses incurred in living, eating, drinking, playing, entertainment and other activities.
The duration of "renting a wife" varies. The shortest may be a few days or a week, and the longest may last a few months or even a lifetime. Some foreigners go to the local area and find a rental wife. If they like her very much, they will come back to stay with the "rental wife" for a few months every year. They will also provide living expenses to the "rental wife" every month, and even buy a house and buy a car for them locally., and have children. Some even marry them as wives and immigrate them to their own countries. However, young girls who are "renting wives" rarely have that kind of fate. Most foreigners only rent for a few days or months before leaving. Most "renters" can only continue to find new tenants.
Many "renting wives" go this way because their family environment is not good. Bars, KTV and other entertainment venues in Thailand are the favorite places for "black pearls" because they have the most opportunities to meet rich people here. They must learn English, how to flatter, and how to deal with men. When they were in these places, well-dressed rich people did not need to be greeted, and soon, beautiful girls with scantily clothes and slim figures gathered around them. Many girls who are cunning have learned how to step on two boats, or even several boats, while maintaining a "temporary couple" relationship with several people in order to get a richer return on their bodies.
While renting out one's body to foreigners to improve their lives for a short time, they also look forward to being able to use these "temporary husbands" to fly out of this poor country. But the reality is ruthless. When the initial novelty of the "renters" faded, they had to accept being "married","broken up" and even "bid farewell" time and time again. Behind their seemingly bright smiles, there are too many bitterness hidden. When they embarked on this path, they could also choose to leave, but most of them continued.
