Ijustwannateach Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I'm guessing the "gig" is that Thai slang word meaning "casual sex partner...." so there must have been some article about rules for it. If it was in Thai, it would probably be in the Thai language subforum, right? Otherwise, I dunno... "Steven" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bieles Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 a "jig" is a sex partner but more than a "one shot" I saw a post in english with translation in thai, very funny, of "the 10 commandments" said also "gig" is slank for Thais, even chocking...

jdinasia Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 "Gig" isn't shocking to younger people ... but it would be to older folks .... Less than a bf/gf but significantly more than a friend ... "friends with benefits" or in US slang "fukc-buddies" so shocking? ... sure .. most people anywhere wouldn't talk about that in front of strangers/parents/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But according to my gf and her mates it just means more than friend but not bf/gf and definately no sex involved. Its kind of the testing the water stage before hooking up more "officially" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijustwannateach Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Thanks for the broader perspective, Moonoi... but I am sure that from some Thai people I have heard this word used in a sexual context. Perhaps the original meaning is as you describe, and it has "broadened" to suit the times? "Steven" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, but most Thai people in my office take the same view as my gf.......there are a couple that also say sex can be involved..but then that started a mass debate on which no one agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Boy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think sex is almost always involved, half the time the parties involved dont admit it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Gig, In my experience, sex is usually not involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patex Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Friendship like in the western world is a new discovery for the Thai-society... I would say a "Gig" is a friend/soulmate from the opposite gender with whom you can speak about "everything". There is a sexual dimension but mostly on a platonic level because sex would destroy the deep familiarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
