Music of Thailand information


Siamese theater group of "Nai Boosra Mahin" which performed in Berlin, Germany in 1900.

The music of Thailand reflects its geographic position at the intersection of China and India, as well as historical trade routes including with Africa, Greece and Rome.

Traditional Thai musical instruments are varied and reflect ancient influence from far afield – including the klong thap and khim (Persian origin), the jakhe (Indian origin), the klong jin (Chinese origin), and the klong kaek (Indonesian origin).

The two most popular styles of traditional Thai music are luk thung (Thai: ลูกทุ่ง or เพลงลูกทุ่ง) and mor lam (Lao: ໝໍລຳ; Isan: หมอลำ; Thai: หมอลำ). The latter in particular has close affinities with the music of Laos.

Aside from the Thai, ethnic minorities such as the Lao, Lawa, Hmong, Akha, Khmer, Lisu, Karen and Lahu peoples have retained traditional musical forms.

Though Thailand was never colonized by colonial powers, pop music and other forms of modern Asian, European and American music have become extremely influential.
