While listening to Thai pop music I've often wondered "Who sings this song and what are the lyrics?" Well, after some searching on the 'net I've come across a website that streams entire Thai pop songs and provides translation. Here's the intro to http://www.ethaimusic.com :

Promoting Thai Music to the World! This web site is for people who want to learn Thai through music. Every Wednesday, we showcase new songs for you. With Flash audio streaming you can listen to the songs straight away. You can read the lyrics in Thai, or in Roman letters if you cannot read Thai yet. Many of the songs have been translated into English. If you like the music you are listening to, then there are links to online music stores. Please enjoy these examples of music from our country.

There are currently 469 songs available, sortable by artist. I was familiar with some of the artists, which helped me to find a few of the songs I was looking for. I also checked the artists with the most reviews as well as those artists found on the "best of" compilations. Turns out a lot of the songs I'm familiar with can be found on the "Grammy Best of the Year 2004" disc.

For the few of you that have have listened to Thai cover bands in LA, particularly at Kruang Tedd, here's a play list of what you're likely to hear:

Maybe you can form a team with CG. His version of 'Chet Nam Dta' is splendid.

Wearing off a little, but I've heard he bought around 150 Thai albums, so his oevre will expand soon.

Good idea DrLove. "Now performing at the Nana Hotel Cocktail Lounge, CG and Ronnie Raygun!" We would get so many girls.........if we paid for them.

Heard about the purchase as well. Seems like he's spent quite a bit of time translating the titles since they're all in Thai.
