Faiyen (Thai: ไฟเย็น) is a Thai political hybrid band of pop and modern luk thung, republican and human-rights activist group, and podcaster. The group emerged as a band that produced satirical songs of Thai monarchy in 2011, after red shirts' protests were suppressed by the Thai army, allegedly supported by the monarchy. The group fled to Laos, sought to evade the lèse majesté law, amid 2014 Thai coup d'état. In 2019, fearing of a death threat from Thai authority, current members, Khunthong, Chom, Yammy, Tito, and former member Wat Wanlayangkoon have been in exile in France, podcasting about politics in Thailand daily from there. Port is currently living in Bangkok, he was charged and briefly imprisoned on the lèse majesté law in 2021.
