Thai business man clarifies 'Buy House, Get Free Wife' promotion

[BeeNox]

Ahaha that's funny. Amazing Thailand... And than your Thai wife will sell your house...lol

[IAMSOBAD]

Buy wife...buy house TIT

[bannorkbannork]

haha this is hilarious

[Strangebrew]

Actually it is racist showing black man with white woman.

[chooka]

Bit like the guy who got a new bike after offering his wife in exchange

[green job]

Why's there a flock of sheep outside the house? Is this to attract buyers from Wales?

Last time I was in wales fishing,I was staying at a pub.Having a drink in the bar,and looking out of the wndow I noticed there were some sheep on the hillside.

I said to the barman, those sheep are very wooly,are they ready for shearing?

And to my amazment he replied, NO Boyo, you go and get your own

[Bluespunk]

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

yes why not?

If they are Thai Nationality than they can.

Yes true enough.

You reckon they are then?

[Rob Smith]

whats going on with his facial hair?

[thordewar]

What's the problem buyer gets wife and wife gets house. Pretty fair I think, I'm sure the woman are not forced to be apart of the promotion.

This work is way to sensitive.

What, they marry sheep in Wales?

[Suradit69]

What a lovely interracial couple! Nothing looks photo-shopped about that ridiculous photo, either.

What are those white Llama-like animals grazing on the front lawn? Is the house in Thailand or Peru?

[Thakkar]

Mrs T reckons I should go for it; I can keep the wife if she can keep the house.

PMSL .... KEEP THEM COMING HAHAHAHA !!!

[Neeranam]

I think that it should read "get an Issan bar bride and give her a free house" ...

Preferably in Isan where her family can move in or least be close to so they are nearer your ATM card.

Why Isarn? This happens just as much in North and Middle Thailand.

Good idea re the free wife - why the hell not?

[Ulic]

What he means is for Farangs they can't have property in there name so they have to have to have a wife to

put the house in her name. Just a misunderstanding.

IE. Free house for wife

[Don Aleman]

And if you don't buy a house you must take 2 Thai wives !

[Living in a cartoon]

Why buy a house (you can't) or a wife (why on Earth would you marry a Thai)?

Rent both, MUCH better value and security.

[VINCENT2012]

funny that this creative business man put a black guy and a white farang woman..well .....multi racial couple...dangerous coktail especialy if it is a surprise.

but i ask my self :

is this promotion only for blacks?

is this promotion only for farang?

where does he get all those white pretty woman? as he a club ?

and the biggest question:

we are in thailand, so why he didnt put simply a couple of thais instead of farang faces?

or why he didn't put a farang and a thai woman wich is what normaly finaly happen here?

no no, that would have been even worse i guess, for the thainess and the great image of this country

anyway this publicity has no sense to me because it is not believable or even funny because out of context...it is a stupid slogan....only for that i would not buy one of his houses.

and for the human woman rights......i would tell them ...yeah ok ...something pejorative, let just do it the other way round ...get a free weekend with that lovely man if you buy this house.....so now what pejorative for the men or still for the woman ????....he is black you you know..!

now i become a racist because of that, for me, funny comment.?.lets be serious, dont spend your precious asociation time with crap like this.

[stoli]

I question his design ability. I have never seen where I had to make a short, sharp 90 degree turn to park my car in my carport. And forget about backing it out.

[Docno]

That's either a poorly done piece of photoshopping or that woman has a bad case of microencephaly (small head)...

[tkramer]

[smileydude]

The ad seems to be purposefully controversial in many aspects from the inter racial couple to the slogan.

Nowadays it seems getting yourself in the news sells.

[Alwyn]

Maybe a better promotion would be, "Buy house, lose wife"!

Or Buy wife and lose house..

[Stray]

Why's there a flock of sheep outside the house? Is this to attract buyers from Wales?

Those are specially trained TGAU guard sheep.

Costas was on the marketing team.

Out the back, just out of shot, are badger milking sheds.

The very fine print tells you the terms of payment for the 'free' wife.

On a serious note, while the intention of the advertisement is not immediately clear, the idea was that the house was cheaper than others of similar type and, with the savings, you could afford to get married.

[jerry1989]

This just shows how IDIOT he is! What else to clarify?

[DekDaeng]

Maybe a better promotion would be, "Buy house, lose wife"!

and 'ouse.

[anon467367354]

I know someone who will give you a free house if you take his wife

what kind of house do you have ?

[Globeman]

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.

Most of the time non-famous models have no idea of the intent of the ad they are modeling for. But a black man lifting a white woman in his arms for a Thai ad? You'd have to wonder what they were planning

But there was a time (and maybe it persists today, I haven't checked) that they wouldn't use Thai women in underwear ads. Farang females, having far less moral fibre than their Thai counterparts, were Some recruiters found the models down Khaosan Road... In one case a farang woman who went on to be an English teacher was mortified when her image, waist up, wearing only a bra was festooned at every bust stop in the city. She had to start taking motorbike taxis instead of buses because people kept recognising her as she stood, fully clothed in front of her own blown up image.
