Sanook Thai  Caption: Coyotes in a pick-up (at funeral) - what do you think of the chassis?

 

Sanook reported from the funeral of a popular civil servant attached to the agricultural offices of the Nakhon Sri Thammarat provincial administration in southern Thailand.

 

Kamonwan or "Aunty Lai", died aged 67.

 

Her dying dish was to have coyote dancers at her funeral. On Tuesday evening in the funeral at her home in Tha Reua, Muang district she got her wish.

 

The music was blaring in the tent housing the coffin as two coyote dancers strutted their stuff in the back of a pick-up.

 

The sad atmosphere immediately changed to one of joy for a life well lived. 

 

Loads of adults and children started boogying along with the coyotes.

 

Young and older men in the throng gave cash gifts to the dancers. 

 

Relatives said that "Pa Lai" was a grand lady who was kind to all and loved by everyone.

 

She had said she wanted coyotes at her funeral so that was arranged for her for one night.

With respect for the last wishes of the deseased, but coyote dancing on a funeral??? For me coyote dancing belongs to the bars in Pattaya and other places, but not on a funeral or once when a monk was ordinated. If Thailand want to get rid of the name that it is known for its sex industry they should stop and ban coyote dancing. I see it even in schools where young kids make copulation movements and as teachers and students love it...But for me I find it disgusting and proof of bad taste, although I am very liberal

What some poster born in 1959 was offended by this story, and wants the coyotes dance banned.

Well <deleted> off this is Thailand and the Thais can do what they want. If an expat is offended, maybe it is time

to go to some other country where you will not get offended by this situation.  When I visit Thailand, I

always remember that I am in Thailand and not my home country. Best way for me to enjoy my time there.

  Still love eating Roti, and Kanom Kroke (forgive the spelling) and other good tasting food.

Very liberal, hardly, Victorian I'd accept. 

Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist society, it doesn't do moralistic Christian hand wringing.

If kids in kindergarten make copulation movement because they don't see anything else, and also primary class kids, and than you are wondering about the hugh number of rapes and incest in Thailand, I think it is disgusting...And yes I am very liberal, certainly not Victorian, as most people here Thailand pretent to be by blurring a lot that don't need to be blurred.

Do you actually have any figures for that? Or are you just basing this on a few lurid stories that sell the news? Do you have any comparisons, do you have any numerical data at all?

Don't be such a stuffed shirt, they are dancers to start with not coyote dancers and it IS quite common. Mrs went to one this week where they had Muay Thai boxing in front of the dead body as he was a fan. I have been to a funeral where the dead kids name was spelt out in fireworks and there was a luktung concert and a likay concert with the cremation at 10PM in between. I am having dancers myself, no fat ones!
