Another variation of the advertisement that reads "[buy] House, Free Wife"

NAKHON RATCHASIMA – A business owner in Nakhon Ratchasima province has clarified his company's "Buy House, Get Free Wife" promotion following protests from women's rights groups.

The controversy concerns advertisements for The Icon housing estate in Mueang district that promised customers a "free wife" if they purchase one of the properties. Images of the banners quickly went viral on social media.

Jadet Chaowilai, director of Women and Men Progressive Movement, told Matichon the advertisement is an "insult" against women.

"It's not funny. It's madness," Mr. Jadet said. "They shouldn't use sensitive subject like human lives as marketing campaign that seeks profit like this."

Boonma Imwiset, an executive of Starwell company, which owns the The Icon project, said in a press conference yesterday that the advertisement was "misunderstood." He said the intended message was that customers could save money for marrying their partners if they bought houses from The Icon.

Could either of the people in the picture that goes with this story actually legally buy a house?

Was the use of the ' wife ' in question supposed to be a major ' come on ' and what about the male ' house buyer ' ?

No Thai models involved ! Mabye Thais would not get involved in such a terrible ad.

Why all the derogatory remarks about Issan women? Are all Issan women bar girls? Are there no bar girls from other parts of the country? I find these comments very demeaning. But then again, TITV.

After being a member here for more than 7 years, one should think that by now you should have realized that not all post on Thaivisa are politically correct??coffee1.gif

BTW most bargirls are from Issan, like it or not.
