Mistress Wanted
posted June 5, 2009 - 5:34amHere in Bangkok, we have a local English language expat rag called the Bangkok Trader. A free monthly publication that features advertisements, articles and classifieds for the area. Not a bad publication with lots of information about what's going on in town and elsewhere in Thailand. I pick one up each month at the local Villa Market.
When I brought this month's issue home, it sat on the coffee table for a while. I hadn't gotten around to thumbing through it yet. My wife sat down next to me with a glass of Thai Tea, picked up the Trader and started to look through it as she sipped her sweet, iced tea. I soon heard a gasp! "Easy job! Mianoy!" ... "This is NOT Good!" "I can't believe this!" "Will they print anything in here?!"
This month there was a large (almost half-page), pink ad in the classifieds section which was written in Thai. (shown below with translation). It seems this 45-year old, American businessman is looking for a 'mianoi' or a mistress and is willing to pay a decent wage! The ad is quite detailed and even spells out the conditions if the 'lucky lady' were to bear him a child or two or three...(It's a volume based compensation program with attractive bonuses!)
Take a look at the ad and read the translation below. I'm not even sure if this is even legal, but it sure is interesting!
My wife was wondering why he used the term 'mianoy' (mistress) if the guy is single. She theorized that perhaps he was gay and just wanted to have children before he got too much older, otherwise why not get married? I agreed that could be the case. I mean, I have seen Prenuptial Agreements that were less detailed than the payment schedule proposed in this ad!
Here is the translation (paraphrased) of the 'Mistress Wanted' ad and an actual image of the ad.
