What do you know about Thai music? What is your favorite Thai band or artist, from any time?

I know a little. Most Thai music is not to my taste. There are several important styles that I identified - for instance the "Villager Style" the (possibly) crude and folksy music from the north (with the characteristic beat of the cowbell). You will hear this sort of music being play at fairs, weddings and other important occasions.

Certainly there is a taste in Thailand for melodramatic love ballads - stories featuring heart rending videos of absolute love treated to betrayal and loss. It's a little cloying for my taste; but it plugs into the Thai taste for "pretty, poor girl from the village makes good in the city" love stories that dominate TV channels. Indeed the most successful of these songs often starts as a theme tune.

Speaking of video's, most music video's in Thai music are around 6-9 minutes long. Many revolve around similar plots, mostly about love. Guy leaves small town and girlfriend to work in the big city, guy misses small town and misses his girlfriend, girlfriend cheats on boy, and vice versa.

Time after Time......Cyndi lauper's 1984 original version is the best. ....a lot of artists have redone this song .... its a timeless classic that can be sung in any form or fashion. The line "the second hand unwinds" always captures my interest because I really don't have a clue what it might mean. ......Heres a version from Ronan Keating
