Wives for tourists on rent, rent according to age, beauty, and contract period

 

 

Thailand is a place where people travel as they please. Single travelers in Thailand can rent girlfriends. Also known as surrogate girlfriends/surrogate wives, they accompany tourists on their travels. They work as tour guides, friends, and lovers. Reports say that girlfriends can be rented for days, months, or weeks.

This is discussed in detail in the book 'Thai Taboo - The Rise of Wife Rental in Modern Society' written by Lavert A. Emmanuel. The book explains that women from poor families mostly choose this job to make a living and support their families. The book says that these women often work in bars or nightclubs, and that is where they mostly meet foreign tourists as clients.

Often, paid girlfriends/wives also live with tourists. Some go out with them and take care of all the household chores.

At the same time, this is done outside of a contract. They are never considered legal wives. This is growing into a big business. Some women take up such jobs due to circumstances.

Now, how is the rent calculated? The rent is decided based on many factors such as how the women are seen, their age, education, and ability to speak. The rent can be low or high.
