chatri is crazy! he was a luk thung singer from chon buri who, at some point in his career, became enamoured with indian film music, and created this fantastic album, based largely on that sound. since him there have been several other singers who have developed a penchant for filmi, but at the time chatri was in a league of his own and his songs have been the backbone of the ลูกทุ่งทำนองอินเดีย (luk thung tham nong india) style. as far as i can tell all these melodies are original (rather than just indian tunes with thai lyrics.. please tell me if you know otherwise!) and i'm very curious to learn about the genesis of this album; are the musicians indian or thai? did chatri go to india to record this, did the musicians come to thailand? and who is the singer with him? fascinating!
UPDATE: i've managed to find out the name of the female singer on here, yuphin phraethong, and have updated the post accordingly.. however, many mysteries remain!!!

Very interesting...cool music. I am listening to anu phap rak right...cool on all kinds of levels.
I am digging it!
Well this is completely a new one on me... I didn't even know I could save Thai characters to a folder.
Very interesting question re Indian influence on luuk tung. I don't have anything wise to add at this point but it's a question I would like answered and would love to correspond on the matter. This is James from Khon Kaen again.
