Luk thung was developed in the mid 20th century. It reflects the daily trials and tribulations of rural people of Thailand. It’s basically Thai country music. Ponsri Woranut, Suraphol Sombatcharoem, Pumpuang Duangjan are some of the famous Luk thung artists.

Mor lam id closely associated with the music of Laos as the Lao population dominates Thailand’s north-eastern Isan region from where the Mor lam has originated. The basic instrument used is called a Khaem. It has a funk feel to the percussion and rhythmic vocals.

Kantrum also belongs to the region of Isan but is less popular compared to Mor lam. It’s played by Cambodians unlike Morlam played by the Lao population. Its purest form is known as Cho-Kantrum which is dominted by percussion instruments and fiddles. Its more of a dance music form. Darkie is one of the most famous Kantrum singers.
