Thai traditional music was said to be in crisis 60 to 70 years ago. So let's explore what happened.
00:06
Once a popular part of Thai history, it reportedly faced severe restrictions during the time when
00:11
Prime Minister Plaek Phibulsongkham was in office. Historical evidence suggested that playing music
00:16
was made illegal during that time, forcing musicians to sell their instruments and abandon
00:21
their professions. This idea was emphasized in the movie Homrong, which shows the life of a young
00:26
Thai musician fighting for the chance to play the music he loved. It is claimed that Plaek
00:31
imposed these regulations to modernize and westernize Thailand, revealing Thai traditional
00:37
music as outdated. However, some theories suggest that the decline was not due to regulations,
00:43
but the influence of Western culture, which entered Thailand after World War II and during the Cold War.
