Defense: Go-go girls a no-no for Thai soldiers

Thai coup leaders have banned go-go girls from dancing near tanks and troops on Bangkok streets. Apparently they are a distraction and detract from the serious of the situation.

Colonel Acra Tiprote says a coup is not entertaining and that people should differentiate between entertainment and seriousness.

He was speaking after a troupe of 10 women in tight camouflage vests and shorts, (they look rather cute actually!) posed with soldiers and tanks while making a music video.

"It is not appropriate to entertain soldiers while they are on duty," he added.
