	Luk thung - Definition, explanation
		Luk thung (Thai ลูกทุ่ง), literally "child of the fields", is the most popular form of Thai country music.
		The term is short for pleng luk thung (Thai เพลงลูกทุ่ง- song of a child of the fields).
		The form developed in the first half of the 20th century, although the term luk thung was first used in the 1960s.

	JIJIGAHO
		Luk thung is a uniquely Thai sound, borrowing from an eclectic range of influences; these include Thai folk and court music, jazz, Latin American music, rock and rap.
		While luk thung and morlam retain their Thai roots, there is a more Western style of pop music known as "string." This is influenced by Western rock bands, and takes its name from the use of stringed instruments such as the guitar and the bass.
		Luk thung and morlam remain very popular, and I don't think they are going to disappear any time soon.
