Mia Noi's

[englishoak]

I have a lot of Thai friends and I am astonished at the amount that have Mia noi's ( small wife)

I would say it runs to about 80% of the guy's I know. A high % have kids by them and seem to do a rota with their family's.

One friend has three! all on separate floors of a condo. 7 kids and a lot of headaches

When we get together there are the real wife day's when all the usual groups come together. But on other occasions there are an assortment of girlfriends, Mia Noi's and real wives.

Here's the thing. No matter what, all the girls keep quiet about all the others. And there's plenty of times when the wife changes meeting to meeting. I know they all the girls hate it as I have been told by many. It just isn't possible to do this in falang land as the cat would be out the bag very quickly.

seems the men here do like to have their cake and eat it. ( mostly cause the girls seem to put up with it )

Any light on the subject would be interesting.

From where in the social spectrum do they come from ?

Well educated or say girls only fit for menial jobs like working in a hair salon ?

That means they have a low salary expectation so any chance to chillout and take it easy and earn what they would earn without lifting a finger is i guess preferable to working in the heat of Bangkok .

In the west they wouldnt tolerate it because they can find a job and move on .

The only other possibility is the gents have very big todgers and are superstuds !

and the girls will put up with each other in order to get rogered !!

I knew a very nice girl who worked in a salon she became a Jap gents mia noi , low salary expectations , now doing ok ...

And many of the ones who don't have mia nois, all (or many) seem to hang out in the massages establishments (the ones with the fish tanks), karaoke joints, sing-a-songs etc., with the less well heeled guys frequenting the "150 Baht a jump" places. There are always tuk-tuks and songtaews parked outside these places.

I have met many of the more funded guys and their mia nois at parties thrown by my wife's siblings and it is very often the case that the guy is either a senior (or retired) army man or police officer.

Would that be coincidentel or is it because these occupations provide access to real money, via, drug dealings, protection rackets (looking after "protecting" whore houses or private casinos etc)

Just another example of TIT

I was told that it's usually and older Thai lady who has a family already established and does not care for the sex part of marriage anymore, who let the husbands have the mia noi's. But the thai lady who told me that will not let her husband have a mia noi.

IMHO It's double the fun but it is also double the pain.

to me it's not worth it, Thai women are already jealous enough.

2 baht please.

My niece is the mia noi of a now retired, very high ranking member of the Royal Thai Police. This gentleman had purchased some land in our village and built a rural home as many wealthy Bangkok folks have been wont to do over the past decade ever since a Mr. Ratakul built his teak log house down the road. The Police General built a very nice home indeed along the side of the local stream, with some padi land on the other side of the stream and mountains rising immediately behind the padi.

So after his home was completed, he invited his big buffont hairdo formal wife up to the hills to see his concept of Paradise in the hills above Chiang Mai. She took one look at the small village, did not notice the banker and his estate, and only happened to notice that her new neighbors were mostly farmers, and so she declared right out front in the street that there was no way in ###### she would step foot in a house built so far removed from city comforts and obsequious neighbors.

So the next day our retired general returns to our small village and propositions the cousins about having their daughter become his new mia noi and inherit his house that his wife cares not about. So now our niece has a love child from this old codger and a very nice house. And now the old codger rarely even drops by for his monthly conjugal visit as he now has a new and younger mia noi to pick him up from the airport when he arrived in Chiang Mai for a visit.

What can I say, the great net legend LG had it right; the way one says "I love you" in Thai is "haa roi baat." (now 1,000 baat with inflation)

Another long-lost gem from the golden days of soc.culture.thai?
