	Music of Thailand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two most popular styles of traditional Thai music are luk thung and mor lam; the latter in particular has close affinities with the Music of Laos.
		Music flourished for the next few centuries, in spite of occasional oppression from monarchs like Rama I and the burning of Ayuthaya, including its art collections and libraries, in 1767 the result of which is a loss of most knowledge necessary to reconstruct the history of Thai music before the Bangkok period.
		Rhythmically and metrically Thai music is steady in tempo, regular in pulse, divisive, in simple duple meter, without swing, with little syncopation (p.3, 39), and with the emphasis on the final beat of a measure or group of pulses and phrase (p.41), as opposed to the first as in European-influenced music.

	THAI MUSIC HOMEPAGE
		A group of Thai people called thai naw-i, who migrated directly southward and settle in the area of sipsawn-gjuthai, later spread out and established several kingdoms in the nothern path of the Indo-China peninsula, two of which were yo-nok or la-nna and la-n cha-ng.
		The first Thai musical instruments mentioned above were undoubtedly used for the most part for signals or to fix the time, particularly the graw, gro-ng, khaw-ng, and glaw-ng, while the others-grap, chap, ching, khlui, phia,saw and khae-n- were used for musical entertainment.
		From this contact the Thai created the several new kinds of musical instruments such as the phi-n, sang, pi-chanai,bandaw, grajappi, jakhay and tho-n which are mentioned in the"traiphumphrarua-ng", one of the first books in written Thai, and on the "sila-ja-rerk", a stone engraving from the time of King ra-mkhamhae-nh, c.1283 A.D., of the su-kho-thai period.

		Thai traditional dance is one of the truly graceful aspects of the country and is quite symbolic of the Thai character itself.
		Accompanying classical Thai dance is a traditional orchestra, using unique instruments such as the ranad (a wooden, floor level xylophone), sa-law (a bow-shaped instrument played with a violin-like bow), and two bamboo flutes, the phin pia and the khlui.
		Northern Thai music has a subtle difference (to the unfamiliar), and employs different instruments, excluding the sa law and phin pia.

		In the spring of 1999, I met Richard Lair, American expatriate and cofounder of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center near Lampang in Northern Thailand.
		They took easily to the harmonica, which was the basis for the first elephant music fad: one morning I arrived in the jungle hearing the sound of harmonicas from all around, in the hills and in the river.
		The Thai tourists told me that the elephants sounded as if they were performing a style of music that can be heard in the temples.

		If the only Thai music you've ever heard is the Westernized pop played in Thai restaurants, this two-CD set will be a revelation.
		The tunes here, based on folk forms that leave plenty of room for individual interpretation, run the gamut--there are lullabies, ensemble pieces for fiddle, percussion and gong, Thai folk rock tunes that make use of Western drum kit and electric keyboards, and a Thai brass band playing the National Anthem.
		The erudite notes by Bruce Gaston give you an in-depth look at Thailand's musical history and music theory, as well as helpful hints for listening to the complexities of the music, but you can plunge into the discs without doing the heavy reading and still appreciate them.
