any fan of thai pop music has surely heard of phumphuang duangchan, the woman who revitalized luk thung in the 1980's and redefined notions of stardom in thailand.  phumphuang got her start as "namphueng mueangsuphan" in waiphot phetsuphan's band, though it was her eventual pairing with songwriter lop burirat that brought her to fame.  i'm imagining the music on this tape shortly predates her bigger hits; while the sound is definitely more internationally-minded, big-band disco grooves & chorus, it doesn't yet have the fully integrated pop style that would make her later material so memorable.  the selections here are mostly covers of well-known tunes, the work of songwriters chonlathi thanthong & surin phaksiri, including songs from the mon rak luk thung soundtrack and some made famous by sayan sanya.  enjoy!

I downloaded this album from another site and was curious about Phumphuang Duangchan. I admit, I don't know much about Asian music, especially the popular music. Thanks for the info :)

Also meant to ask. In this post, you mention bigger hits that happened right after this period. Would you happen to recommend albums or songs from period for a person who cannot read the language? Or are those hard to track down?

Thanks kindly, previous commenter
