tk47 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 what is meant by a rented wife? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backflip Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Let me use an analogy...it is said that native Alaskans have 57 words for snow, because there's so much of it. Farangs have 57 terms to descibe "female sex worker" for the same reason. "Rented wife" is one of those terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Snake Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Rented wife means "the girl who actually makes you happy while you are legally and financially bound to a nagging haggus" Haha just kidding. Its a term of endearment for any wonderful creature who makes you feel good so long as you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Look up Mia Noi's and gik's or ask in the pattaya forum A gik is totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk47 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 fair enough. It is along the lines I thought of but wasn't certain. Helps explain a few things. Apologies for being ambiguous. No Thx Nawtilus.... I think I have enough on my plate at the moment..... but it was nice of you to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawtilus Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I agree, giks are totally different...one you pay for upfront or just after, the other you pay for much later and much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Or you could just get a gik that you don't have to pay for at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazo Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 What is the best explanation for the thai word gik it seems to be veray popular with younger thais. As i understand it is a new slang word for casual girlfriend a <deleted> budy or a young mistress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indifferent Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Or you could just get a gik that you don't have to pay for at all. Or pays for you Slightly different, but along the same lines..... I've always thought that having a wife in Thailand is a bit like owning a brewery and only drinking orange juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 gik = more than a friend but less than a mia noi As majo suggested the best thing to do for these type of terms is look them up in the Pattaya forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigarette Burn Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I've always thought that having a wife in Thailand is a bit like owning a brewery and only drinking orange juice. Only people who were unable to attract females in they're homeland would think like that. You suddenly become Tom Cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I love the English language. v., rent (r?nt) or rend·ed, rend·ing, rends.v.tr. To tear or split apart or into pieces violently. See synonyms at tear1. To tear (one's garments or hair) in anguish or rage. To tear away forcibly; wrest. To pull, split, or divide as if by tearing: “Chip was rent between the impulse to laugh wildly and a bitterness that threatened hot tears” (Louis Auchincloss). To pierce or disturb with sound: a scream rent the silence. To cause pain or distress to: tales that rend the heart. v.intr. To become torn or split; come apart. [Middle English renden, from Old English rendan.] So, a rented wife is usually just for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannork Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I heard this term years ago to describe the temporary wife, เมียเช่า, of expats here on a contract. She would live with and take care of the expat for as long as the contract lasted, so she wasn't a one night stand or a gig, she was, or is, a full time wife- but temporary. Both parties know that, hence the term. I suppose now that people in the West signed pre-nuptials agreements it's a similar sort of thing. I bet Paul McCartney regrets not having taken on a 'rented' wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yes, there are many terms that Farangs use for Thai women, I specify Thai women as opposed to women in their own countries. In their own countries they can rarely get close enough to them, so most terms are derogatory, like fat , ugly, mouthy, bitchy, scruffy etc etc.... Then all of a sudden, they are transformed into some kind of sex gods when hitting the shores of 3rd world South East Asian countries, the fact that they are paying goes over their heads. Oh , nearly forgot, Thai Visa forum members don't pay for women, they all met their partners at the gates of the University or at the local library, and the local women where just bowled over by the fat guts and spindly white legs, grey hair and bad breath. Must be great to be so desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
