Coyotes' last dance


Ayutthaya authorities and the provincial culture office have eliminated "coyote dancers" from commercial promotions and events.



Provincial culture office chief Niphon Thoopboocha said the agreement was vital to the tourism industry. The province is home to many historic sites and World Heritage locations. Business owners and event organisers had cooperated, he said.

Girls dancing in provocative outfits had become widespread in Ayutthaya. The office took action after several complaints, especially over dancing at marketplaces.

The Culture Ministry's Cultural Watchdog Centre director Ladda Tangsupachai said it had registered 1,341 young dancers. Most had obtained work.

Coyote dancing all but evaporated on holy days and at temples after a campaign late last year.
Buri Ram, Loei, Phetchaburi, Ubon Ratchathani, Kamphaeng Phet, Chiang Rai, Trat, Lamphun, Chon Buri and Uttaradit are now coyote dance-free.

Personally I believe the UN should ban Coyote dancers.

Glad to see that the authorities have their priorities set. Nice to live in a place where there are no bigger issues for government official to handle than young girls dancing.

I look forward to when Mr. Niphon will make a stand against corruption, domestic violence, drug abuse, child abuse, etc, etc.
