Wife asks for money to massage me?

[kwaussie]

How does this work?

Been together 4 years, while waiting on final visa to Australia i pay for her to get massage lessons from official school in Bangkok and has certificates.

She can make $60 hour in Aussie, anyway when i ask for massage she say i have to pay her small amount as teacher say if she doesn't charge she can get very sick

she even say if family member still have to charge something.

It's just superstition, like giving a wallet without money in it. Don't mind it, jut give her a baht for luck. She starts charging 300 an hour then you got a problem.

Start charging her for sex. Explain that if not paid - it's a bad omen. See what happens.

BTW, I've heard of this superstition only applied to 'magic' and readings of future, - never to massage, treatment of condition, operation, etc.

Yeah, what you said I reckon.

A similar thing was when I bought a kitchen knife during a short stay and gave it to GF's mum before we left. She insisted on paying for it (20bht) otherwise it was a gift and a gift of a knife brings bad luck. (or means something bad)

Superstition, it gets crazier and crazier !

[art vandelay]

she sounds like a good catch. good luck.

[Somtamnication]

Similar to walking into a Thai Chinese shop. If you are the first customer of the day, they expect you to buy something. They use it as a barometer of the days' business.

Other men is what will happen - not a good idea.

[JesseFrank]

I wanted to pick up on that she can earn 60$ an hour in Oz.

So a Thai massage is more than 60$ an hour there

"Start charging her for sex. Explain that if not paid - it's a bad omen. See what happens."

For this to be analogous, there's a few assumptions buried in that idea.

1. That he's been training as a prostitute and his teacher told him to charge.

2. That if she has to pay for it, she may find better value from another supplier.

And, of course, she may decide that she's the one who should be charging.

[belg]

she worked in a bar before, no pay, no play

let her pay for her own damn "massage" school lessons

$60 dollar in aus, ok, but that is for massage with an extra

[Scarpolo]

I say pay her.

You would be giving her money anyway,

let her feel she is earning it, and you are a "test" client,

but, under no circumstances, do not let it lead to sex,

that is not what you want

[Borzandy]

Does she also charge her Thai husband for massage....

[Scarpolo]

Does she also charge her Thai husband for massage....

that's mean

not every thai girl cheats,

most of them wouldnt dare

[newermonkey]

It means that you have a wife but not a real relationship.

Go ahead and pay her but give her a rent bill for living in your home, and dont share your food with her.

Only with a happy ending.

[stickylies]

oh boy... and then people ask me why i don't have thai gf/wife/concubine...

[thailiketoo]

TIT; gf, wife and concubine.

Interesting, I too married a masseuse. At the time she was working in a Centro-esthetico (sp) in Rome pummelling over-weight Italian ladies who hoped that a bit of pain would return them to the svelte shape of their youth.

Wifey's services were charged out at 50 Euro an hour (although she got paid a fraction of that), this was 10 years ago, so I can quite see the $60 an hour figure.

Meanwhile, she too 'charges' me for a massage, invariably ends up with nookie mind

[Carl64]

Sackable offence! Chuck her back and get another one.

[kwaussie]

Jessefrank

Her friend sets up table at markets and also works from home and charges $60 hour

It does seem excessive as same price at Shopping malls but she is always busy as very good.

And no doesnt do extras, strictly massage

Keeping in check when she works ?

[yimlitnoy]

Why would you expect a massage from your wife? Your wife is a partner, not a servant, have respect for each other. There are people more qualified for this and being in Bangkok you know where to find them.

[ebean001]

It again amazes me how you farangs know very little. You, as the husband, can find a woman 1/2 the age of your wife tonight. She knows that. She need to accumulate some money before you leaver her - and you will around 5-7 years. She does not want to be left with nothing.

That's not for a happy ending, or extras in OZ. $60 an hour is about right for ANY massage there on business premises. Swedish, therapeutic, Thai. Brisbane has a few Thai massage joints. Pretty ordinary really, considering what you are paying..Too soft, as the businesses are scared of litigation for any injuries that occur.

Precisely; most of them wouldn't dare charge the thai husband for massage.

is this a true and accurate description of the thinking of all Thai women?

[i claudius]

When you have paid for the massage,does it include "the happy ending?"

[Spoonman]

not sure if my mother inlaw (uggh that sounds horrible. My dads wife sounds better) makes decent coin doing massages in Brisbane. Ive no idea if happy endings are involved or not but the joint has a special on at the moment @ $60.00 for the hour.

Repeat after me: You can take a girl out of a massage parlour but you can't take a massage parlour out of a girl.

Repeat 3 times a day with food. The words massage parlour may be substituted by bar, disco, Soi 6, Beach Road....
