Rental wife, new occupation for Thai women


Unknown | 16:57 |

If you explore for a “rental wife”, the search engines would produce number of results in Thailand. Some of the sites are titled “how to find a wife or a girl friend” in Thailand. But if you probe further you are to be flabbergasted when you get a quote.

Renting women either as wife or a girl friend is becoming a viable business in Thailand. The rented wives known as Black Pearls are hired especially by foreigners domiciled in Thailand.
According to Rocket News, The job of rental wife entails acting as the customer’s wife as well as serving as a tour guide.  In exchange for money, the women cook, clean, do laundry, and perform the other mundane tasks of everyday life.  Rental period can vary from a single week up to several months.  Men who have taken a liking to a certain rental wife often return to Thailand every year and live with them for months at a time.

The women are given an allowance for living expenses and sometimes receive houses or cars as presents.  Some even have children with their renters.

For the lucky ones, rental wives turn into actual wives and live a married life with their former-renter husbands.  But for the most part, the “relationship” ends when their rental wife agreement expires and the women are left to find a new renter.

Many of the women who turn to the rental wife occupation come from poor households and have no choice but to go into this line of work.  Little by little they learn English, how to curry favor with the opposite sex, and how to date several men at one time.  Women are free to leave the rental wife business, but for many, the life of being a rented woman is all they will know.
