TRAT — A local official in Trat province has apologized for hiring scantily-clad female dancers to perform at a National Children's Day event on Saturday.

Photos of the women dancing before an audience of children quickly circulated on the internet and elicited criticism of the Trat Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO), which was responsible for organizing the event.

Wichian Sapcharoen, the director of Trat's PAO, said his office hired the band to entertain children for National Children's Day, but did not know the performance would also feature so-called "Coyote dancers," a name inspired by the 2000 American film "Coyote Ugly."

I suspect the Dad's didn't mind!

[Costas2008]

My luck......missed that......

I'll ask daddy to take me there next year

[Just1Voice]

To me, that's better than having them play on tanks and be enamored with guns.

[NongKhaiKid]

Did he hire them to entertain the children or himself. ?

Thai adults leading from the front ?

[JOC]

Gives a whole new meaning to core values.............................

What's the problem here? There's no sex industry, nothing wrong with this, is there?

If people start apologising for sexy dances for or by children, there's going to be a lot of apologising going on.

Just look at any school on any event day - especially 'Sport' Day.

I wouldn't allow my preteens to be dressed as tiny Patpong/Patong workers, but apparently Thai culture allows that.

[Manbing]

This apology seems incongruous, considering the long tradition of dressing up schoolgirls inappropriately for sports day cheer squads.

[Johnnie99]

"... but did not know the performance would also feature so-called "Coyote dancers ..."

It's called checking for suitability, especially where children are concerned.

Comes as standard in a caring society.

[willyumiii]

wonder if any children complained...

or was it just dirty minded adults that felt guilty?

[brewsterbudgen]

More appropriate than chldren posing with automatic weapons...

In Rayong, my wife's niece took a video of her 4 year old daughter doing a gogo dance with a skimpy outfit and full makeup, just like above.

When I was in Isaan, I saw it all the time. Sexy dancers in skimpy outfits at wedding, birthdays, or whatever. Later on, the children are urged to follow suit, getting tips.

It all starts so very young here. Most of us have seen it.

Children's day - Thai Style

Guns, tanks and "coyote girls".
All that's missing is gambling tents and drug freebies.

reminds me of my friends wedding last year(600 people). Reception was held in Samut sakhorn starting at noon. had the same type of thing. I have lived in Bkk for 12 years and am used to seeing this type of thing at Nana and Cowboy but not at a wedding mid day with children running around.

I jokingly said "they will probably do the itchy pussy song" and surprise suprise!!! 30minutes later the girls were grinding the speakers to that very song.

I did quite enjoy it and it was a wedding I will never forget. Got slapped a lot by my gf for not listening when she was talking though hehehe. TIT

Sadly in north East is just called job training for many young Isan girls!

[SOTIRIOS]

....is 'sorry' enough really......???

...and 'didn't know'......???

[HooHaa]

hmmm, funny

[garyj1967]

Is this part of that "Discovering Thainess" campaign, that I keep reading so much about?

[ggt]

I doubt that the dance was very sexy...but the young scantly clad ladies...now that's sexy...

Comes as standard if one uses THE brain, more like :-)

[IAMHERE]

Hope this doesn't affect the children's ability to play video games.

[ikbenhet]

Come on guys where's the video?

[mikiea]

my my , a wussie is in da house .

[catweazle]

Guess the performance helped a few of the school girls to answer the important question, "What am I gonna be when I grow up?"

If I were a father at the event, I'd give the Trat official a hug

20 Years as a U.S. Marine, with 18 of that in Force Recon, hardly qualifies me as a wussie, Oh, motormouth who speaks of what he knows not.

Sorry, you'll never convince me that you were a US Marine.

[Torrens54]

Was there any Pole and/or Lap Dancing?

The pic shows them pretty well covered.

Complaint probably came from some Fat Old Farang Mamma, with cellulite and drooping.... (cheeks.)

[wooloomooloo]

Fairly innocent event for LOS. Did anyone canvas the children?

[maynard420]

Fucqin right, let kids play with all there machine guns and anti aircraft weapons, all it would take was some IS Muslim or idiot Thai to take a few rounds of 5.56 rounds and slip it in a unmanned weapon, there is no pre thought of any of this s@it
