Music in Thailand
Thai people have
known how to make musical instruments or to copy the patterns of others and
adapt them to their own uses since ancient times. Before they came into
contact with the culture of India (which was widespread in Southeast Asia), the
Thais apparently devised several kinds of musical instruments. Later with
Indian influences, the Thai people assimilated this musical culture into their
own, particularly with Indian instruments that the Mon and Khmer culture had
absorbed first.
Several new
kinds of instruments were created after contact with the Indian musical culture,
including the phin, sang, pichanai, krachap pi, chakhe, and thon.
Including many local versions of flutes, stringed instruments and gongs, there
are about 50 types of Thai musical instruments.
