Several years ago, while flying back to Thailand from Indonesia, a voluptuous young Asian woman took the seat next to me. Now most of the time I keep my trap shut while flying, even going as far as listening to my IPod to block out any blabbermouths that happen to sit next to me, but of course, this was different. Her smell alone made me take notice; she was sexy as hell, one of those rare women who managed to get my testosterone pumping full speed by her mere presence.
I knew had to talk to her and go for the number close – so I did. Within minutes, I knew her vital information. She was a 23-year-old Thai living in Indonesia, Surabaya to be exact, and she had been living there off and on for about a year. She gave “Coyote Dancer” as her profession.
At the time, my knowledge of Coyote’s was limited to the Roadrunner’s arch nemesis Wile E. Coyote and the movie, Coyote Ugly. This movie sparked the Coyote dance sensation.
We talked throughout the flight and she explained Coyote Dancing in further detail. Unlike go-go bars in Thailand, Coyote dancers do not get naked, or even half-naked, and they are not required to sleep with the customers, although some do in their off time. There were, to her knowledge, Coyote Bars in Bangkok and select locations in Indonesia.
Coyote dancers are a cross between a go-go dancer from the 1960’s and 70’s and an Asian G-club hostess. In addition to speaking with the customer and making sure their glass full with their chosen libation, they also dance and exude sexiness, making for a pleasant and somewhat stimulating environment.
The girls will meet with you outside of the club and whatever happens is nobody’s business but your own. Unless you have extraordinary game though, paying her for her time is mandatory. Coyote girls swear off the label of prostitute, instead calling themselves dancers and entertainers. Any way you look at it, the women are well compensated for their time and energy.
In the Coyote Ugly movie, a group of sexy females runs a trendy New York nightclub. What made both the movie and the bar attractive, besides the titillating women, was their outrageously sexy dancing on top of the bar.
Enterprising Thais took the idea of having beautiful hostesses dancing on tables to another level and in no time, Coyote Dancing was all the rage. Coyote bars sprouted up throughout Bangkok and the dancers promoted auto shows and emerging products, mall openings, and anything else they could.
The phenomenon spread like wildfire; however, it had its share of detractors. All it took was a comment from Thailand’s royal family to set off a crusade to ban Coyote dancing from public places. The campaign succeeded, and currently, nightclubs and bars are the only venues permitted to have Coyote Dancing.
The difference between Go-go bars and Coyote dancing may seem minimal on the surface, but for those who prefer their women with slamming, Playboy type bodies, and the difference, however minute, is noticeable. These women are similar to G-club girls in that they are extremely attractive. We are not talking about some dark-skinned hotty from Issan that Thais find unattractive, instead, these girls are white-skinned with flawless looks and bodies.
It is normal for the dancers to receive several thousand baht in tips each night and should you meet them outside of their club, expect to pay in the area of 3000 – 6000 baht per session.
When you see a Coyote girl you like (and it won’t be difficult), you simply call her over to your table, as with any Thai bar, or ask the mamasan to bring you a line-up of women to choose from. If she’s dancing, she’ll finish and then come to you. If after a few moments of conversation you decide you want her to stay, buy her a drink.
Order a few Thai dishes, Som Tam (Papaya Salad), Pad Thai (Fried Noodles), French Fries, or whatever, and within seconds, her smoking hot friends will gather around and devour your food like a pride of lions shredding a freshly killed Zebra.
If you are cheap, a poor English teacher scrapping by, or a retiree living on a 20,000 baht-a-month pension, you probably will not want to go to a Coyote Bar unless someone else is buying. Four or five months ago, I went to The Fish on Soi Ladprao 130, which at the time was within walking distance from my apartment. I went alone, and by the time I got out of the place, I was in to the tune of about 3000 baht ($85), not including the 1000-baht tips I gave to each of the two girls sitting with me.
I left – alone – however, for what it’s worth; I did get two phone numbers. I called one of the women, and a week later, she came over for an English lesson. You gotta love Thailand!
