Coyote Girls, in their skimpy uniforms
are now banned from dancing in public.
Walking Street is filled with these girls.You probably don't know what "Coyote Girl" means, but you see it all the time in Thailand: Three or four girls in shorts and halter tops (usually silver and sparkly) dancing in front of a shop festooned with balloons and banners, while another girl on a bullhorn shouts about the great new deal to be found inside.
That all came to an end when Queen Sirikit saw a news broadcast from Nong Khai province regarding Buddhist Lent (a time of austerity, indeed) and a local temple, and noticed that a nearby motorcycle shop had these dancers, called Coyote Girls, showing off their wares.
Obviously a bad choice of time and location. However, in typical Thai style of over-reaction, now these dancers are banned from all public places.
If they were going to get rid of the blaring ear-splitting techno music (talk about something more toxic and putrid than second-hand smoke... why can't they ever crank up Aerosmith?) that they play at these promotional events along with the dancers, it wouldn't be so bad... but turning down the bubblegum-pink japplastic technocrap in Thailand is 1000 times less likely than turning down the amount of flesh that girls are exposing when out in public.

This is a good law. I am looking forward to the talent level rising at some Pattaya chrome pole dens in the near future... ;)
It seems that, according to the article, most of the girls are college students paying for school. As much as we can hope, I don't think that it will translate into more or better gogo dancers. Most of the girls seem to work at Bangkok nightclubs and bars as dancers there.
