A Thai wife is hiring THREE 'young and smart mistresses' to keep her husband happy.

Pattheema Chamnan, 44, began advertising for 'beautiful and educated women' with videos from her home in Bangkok, Thailand.

The generous wife said each of the women would be paid the region's minimum wage of around 15,000 baht (342 GBP) and given free food and accommodation.

Her only requirement is that they are young, single, and have a high school or college diploma.

Pattheema said her husband Pattagorn, 45, runs a construction firm so they are 'comfortable' and have 'enough money'. However, the mistresses need to 'satisfy him in the bedroom' as well as keep him company while he is relaxing at home.

Pattheema said: ‘My husband has been working hard alone and I just want him to be happy. I will also have friends to be with at home.

‘The candidate should not have a child as it will become a burden. They have to look presentable and communicate well.

'It is important that they can please my husband physically. He is a man and needs that, he still has a high drive and lots of energy.

'But his mistresses must also be able to keep him company and entertain him, so they must have a good personality and be fun.'

The loving wife added that she has been struggling with chronic depression and ‘felt like she's not a good wife'.

She added: ‘I want to find mistresses for my husband as I am struggling physically. I have chronic depression and I feel like I can't take care of my husband well.

‘I haven't been sleeping with my husband and it makes me feel like I'm not a good wife.'

Pattheema has shortlisted two women for the role so far but their applications were still being reviewed.

Meanwhile, Pattheema's husband Pattagorn said he was surprised when he found out about the video posted online on July 31.

He said: ‘My wife told me she wanted to find somebody to take care of me. The women will also be treated like family and work in our company like family. I was shocked when I found out about it.'

‘Other men that wish to be like me should communicate with their wives about it. They should ask their wives for permission so there won't be problems in the future. I never wanted to have any mistress but since my wife is offering, I won't reject.'

The couple runs a family business located in Samut Prakan province that offers renting and leasing of construction and civil-engineering machinery and equipment.
