can somebody tell me this singers name?,I don't read Thai. He died about 1974 in a car crash I think. kitten pee noi, been recorded by many singers including Ord Oppas, Got, Mike Piromporn and Yew Pem Peyyom

On his Youtube page he's called Sonkhiri Siprachuap (b.1935 d.1972).

The song is called KHIT THEUNG PHEE MAI? - Do you miss me?
His Wikipedia page states he was a Luk Thung singer, one of 7 children born in Samut Songkhram province. As a boy he worked with his parents collecting coconuts (sugar palm?). He used to climb the trees everyday and pass the time by singing while working.
He died on the 30th January 1972 at the age of 36 while travelling back to Bangkok from a concert in Uttaradit province. His driver had begun to feel sleepy so they had stopped on the side of Phahonyothin Road in Kamphaengphet province to rest, when a passing truck lost control and went into the back of the car killing them instantly.

Thank you very big Katana I think he wrote his songs as well, big loss to Thai music by a car accident and a few others went that way too.

Always a catchy tune from Tata Young, never recaptured the success of her first album, must be almost 20 years now. Sloppy dancing, would not pass today

would have to be in the catchy top 10 Rung Suriya with his famous hit written by Jenpop, Katana might be able to give us the title

Sorry to be so vague, but back in '06 there was a song/video shown regularly on TV that I thought of as the 'chicken song'. Basically it had a load of guys dressed as if they were army type people in a village with, presumably, a lot of chickens running around? The song was v 'catchy' and the video VERY funny to watch.

Does anyone have any idea of the name of this song/video? I'd love to see it again to see if its really as funny as I thought, or whether it was just newbie fascination at such a different video compared to Western videos.

Hi Thai3.

It's called RAK JING HAI TING NANG.

I've tried googling luk tung and none of the you tube songs were the one I was thinking of. It was a male singer and was shown all the time around August '06.

can't think what the soldier one is, I can't get kratae out of my head, wonder if they will have her in for costume adjustment

More tunes for all of you...

One more for today... rather funny.

Enjoy!

I'm sure many of you would know this classic by Taxi...

Love this for years.

Thanks for posting

Some really good stuff comes out of the poorer Issan areas... this is pretty catchy!

The dancing girls are certainly enjoying it too...

More from Issan...

Only from Issan as far as the artists go, kong is from Sakhon Nakon and Ying Lee is from Buri Ram. The music is Phua Cheewit and luktung or at a stretch luktung Issan. Neither recording companies are from Issan and while the influence of Issan on Thai music was in the past underplayed these days it's the reverse with people writing academic tracts on the fundamental influence of Issan on luktung, which does not stand up in my opinion. Companies like Grammy have watered down issan music and really have little issan output apart from Dok Or and Ying lee, they have no lam cing artists as far as I know which is of course really popular in issan. They tend to use issan music as more of an additive than a source for commercial reasons. Top line Diamond are a more authentic source of issan music for the past 27 years, just compare their artists to Grammy, Grammy gold is almost all luktung and luktung Issan and not morlam and certainly not kantrum which are both real issan music

This is more like real issan music, not watered down Grammy fare, a wonderful rendition of Somjit Bortongs Gulap Deang etc, been in crowds like this hundreds of times and it;s the best entertainment here.

Darkie with evocative kan treum, another singer who left life's stage far too early

Yeah never saw him he was great, one I have not seen and would like to is Rose Surin she has a style called kantrun cing not much of her on YT but she does good concerts

The legendary No Chanon with this wee number funky style...

Enjoy!

Bordering on the funny side... Bie The Ska

Please don't give up! We're waiting with bated breath for your tunes! ...

Meanwhile another hit...

More than 30 million clicks on Youtube and quite some remarkable lyrics...

'Even though my body is false my soul is pure.'

Nong Mai with the carrot song, married now, time flies, unlike a lot of kiddie stars she was talented
