My TGF being from Isan loves country music. I like most music and if drinks are involved, I'm game. Anyway I've been to and heard alot of Thai country music. It's pretty good music and there is a lot of good local musicans. The Thai's really get a kick out of a farang rocking to and enjoying Thai country. Usually, I'm the only farang (Northeastern Thailand). Never have had any problems. Try it you'll have a good time and hear some good music.

CalEden,
Yep, it is the same for me with Thai country music! When I lived together with my TGF from Roi Et for three years I had to listen to it every day.
I have such good memories to this music, the karaoke singing and the drinking...!

Some country music can be enjoyed at COUNTRY ROAD bar in Suk. Asoke 21. Underneath the BTS Stop at ASOKE (opposite to the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit). The band is good and the band members are mainly Thais.
Another Country Road was in Chaeng Wattana further down the main road and close to the Lotus supermarket. Few others in Lad Prao but haven't been in those for loooooong time. Certainly, the music is nice and the no-hassle environment at these places is a bonus. Have fun.

We were in Khorat, staying at the Sima Thani Hotel. There is a very large country music bar on the otherside of freeway from hotel. We walked under freeway to bar. My TGF called her cousin a university student, who brought 4 of her friends. Here I (farang) show up at a Thai country bar with 6 gorgeous slimwaisted Thai girls. Of course the farang is buying, so its Johnny Walker. The bands were very good. The place really rocked. I'm rocking surrounded by six beautiful Thai girls. I could see by the looks, they were wondering what the hell is this farang doing? These girls were guy magnets, the guys kind of gravitated to our area. But, in the spirit of Thai country a good time was had by all. We all stumbled back to the hotel and six drunken Thai girls slept on the floor. I slept on the bed by myself and did not get lucky that night. But, the next morning after the girls left, it was Thai heaven, my GF more than made up for the slack. My TGF said head go Boom Boom!
Behind the stage there were alot of pictures communist (marxist) photos. Such as Che Cevera, Ho Chi Minh, Lenin, Marx, Stalin, Mao, etc. I knew a decade ago northeastern Thailand was a communist hot bed. But I thought those feelings had gone by.

Cal,
Dont pay to much attention to the Photos.
Most Thais if they were being honest have no idea about the true meaning of communism.
I remember being at a live music show in Bangkok watching the German rock band the Scorpions,and there were a few Thai people thinking it was cool, waving a Nazi flag,oblivious to what they were doing.
The band were quite clearly upset and confused as to why they were doing this.
History is not a strong point amongst Thai people.

Yes, also in Khorat saw a TG riding a motorcycle wearing WWII German helment with swatiska and SS lightning bolts. Insripted on the back in large English lettering was US Airforce. These things don't bother me. Yes, I'm aware that that political knowledge may not be there. The wearer may just think in is cool, without understanding what it means.

Check out:
http://www.afana.org
and wait for it to load. Check out the "Make Mine Morlam" link. AFANA is an organization that I'm part of -- we're hosting a "Thai country music" show here in the States, as no one here except the local Thai's seem to have heard any of it. I love the stuff, but maybe, with my TGF and all, I'm just biased. We've gotten some early feedback on some of the program notes, and it's helping us to give more accurate notes. There is little to no info on this here; we've been told that there was a book published in Korat that has a lot of detail, but have been unable to find it.
Anyway, for those of you that like this stuff, you may enjoy the link. Unlike the author of the notes, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Siriporn fan too.

Balls,
Excellent site!! I really think this is the best I have seen in a long time on Thai music, and technically well-done, too. I will go back and read it thoroughly again...
