Over 70% of Thai young adults ages 20-35 have “gigs”

[Moonmoon]

70% of guys have gfs on the side as gigs. And these gf gigs themselves have husband too and have bfs gigs too. u better believe it. when u leave town back home to your country. that thai girl is gonna bring her thai bf gig into your house n your bed to sleep on it

[soc]

Gig or gik?

Or doesn't it matter?

l thought that it was gik.

[Wilsonandson]

Hope my missus doesn't have a gig? If I find out she does I play bloody murder with the beggar. No one touches 'er in doors but moi. Gigs part of Thai culture. Next they'll be telling us that bargirls are part of Thai culture.

Dunno how divorce rates are in thailand, let alone the divorce courts and whatever comes along with it....if it's anything like the west, I for one wouldn't be surprised whatsoever, except for the fact that more thais would be on the red pill than farangs, but I don't quite buy into that considering what I know of thailand so far. Time will change just about everything, relationships and so forth are no exception to that.

The signs (that things will change any-time soon) don't look very encouraging !!!

 

Happiness in numbers?

Like I have always said, Sex is Sex and Love is Love. Separate the two and life is so much easier.  It doesn't matter what Country you come from the honest stats ( those where all tell the truth), are all very high when it comes to sex on the side. The only reason we have jealousy is because of the sex. Sex is like a recreational drug that the male body needs to survive. Sex with the same person really doesn't last long before it gets old or none at all in the relationship.

Gig = one night stand.

Prostitute is pure lust no chasing involved.

You don't know much do you. "Gig = one night stand." Mia, mia noi, gig. Mia nois and often gigs are set up (payed for) in their own digs. A regular alternative to the missus. Not a one night stand.

Bye the way men aren't alone in this, in this promiscuous society.

Just a little reflection on the word "promiscuous".  If a society is promiscuous, one possible reason is that people (women in particular) are living in poverty or at the very least the kind of straitened circumstances that cause people to accept money or gifts for sexual services (and we are not talking about just "bar-girls").

The French are often quoted as one of the most promiscuous societies. However,  here in Thailand, no money, no gig.

It would seem that Europeans are only a few percentage points behind the Thais if you read the statistics, the instant gratification society is world wide and has nothing to do with poverty.

[blazes]

What statistics in particular do you have in mind?

First about economic conditions for women in Thailand and in France

and second what statistics other than the workings of your feeble brain tell you that French women are every bit as "promiscuous" as their Thai cousins?

[MiKT]

Plenty of Thai girls also have female giks.

[Lingba]

This is news??...who cares ..sometimes I wonder if humans are meant to be monogamous anyway

[Gringogazzer]

My Thai dictionary spells it like this: kik

I don't suppose she'll mind what you call her in the heat of the moment.

"Gigs are not paid for. Its just an extra gf."

Those men, both Thai and foreign who keep a "gik-gig" on the side are often providing accomodation, transportation, clothing etc. The man may not be paying her after each sexual encounter, but she is always available for his enjoyment as part of the "deal" .

In other words a mistress, inamorata or  a kept woman. Whichever way you cut it, she's providing a product and a service for remuneration of some kind.

 

Yes, but you could say the same for any woman. The guy above got it wrong, likening the concept to flat-out prostitution (which it is not) likely because he has never been in that position or had the offer. If you're an older expat mincing around in the same old circles, the closest they'd likely get is a tart playing the long game. But if you're relatively young and good looking (and yes it also applies to farangs), one may often come across the above scenario. Been there, done that, no strings, all good fun.

Paid for sex = prostitiute

 

They are not paying for sex per se. Do you consider going out on a date and having sex paying for sex? They are GFs they take care of. But I guess this is not your thing so it is evil. Label it and condemn it.

Its an alien concept for many foreignets who are used to paying for it.

Correct, same as the "foda fixa" I experienced when I lived and worked in Brazil back when I was truly a handsome man. Too old and poor to indulge in the same malarkey in LOS.

[lostinisaan]

The result showed that 8O% of these samples have bawled out their wives and lovers, and 74.7% have admitted of using rude words with them to relieve anger and frustration.

 

   Have you ever seen an honest answer when it comes to such a topic? I guess that's a male-specific  thing and foreigners would say similar things. Even those who're still a virgin, or attracted to the same gender. 

 

     I think I'll have to tell 15 girls that they have to look for another guy, 27 are really enough for me.

 

     And having three Noi's and four Lek's and seven Porntip's doesn't make all easier. Help me, please................

Probably a higher %age of expats have gigs. Well that's if you call Buriram Noi who works in Sukhumvit soi 4 a bit on the side.

You seem to have a"thing" for Buriram Noi.

Don't you know that women go for older men? I guess you don't have that much experience yet.

What is the difference between GIG and GIK? I never heard of GIG before, but have known about GIK for many many years.

[khunpa]

Maybe I have just had too many Thai-women in my life, but I could not even be bothered with having a Thai-girlfriend on the side.

 

My Thai-wife is already far more than I can handle and have time for :-) Besides that... The "drama" alone (if found out), is enough to not even having me wanting to consider it.

If you can read Thai you will see that the sign post in thai shown in id 76 spells it gig, กิก it is also pronounced with a hard G and not the softer K for some reason Thais translate the ก as a K which it is not

Im sure that kind was is around too. But the gigs i had were girls that paid their own way. Mind you i came here when i was in my early 30ies. Its easier to not pay for it then. Sure i did pay for food but that was it.

I also know of thai friends that did not pay. But the kind your talking about i have seen only a few times. One girl i knew was such a kept woman by an older thai goverment official. But i would consider that a paid for woman not a gik.

Do youbreally think all those young Thais have money for a gik or pay for it. Surely you must be joking.

Giks are not paid for or kept woman.
