Thai Instruments ! !

In Thailand have many 4 categories in Thai instruments such as wind instruments, plucked string instruments, bowed string instruments and percussion instruments and hammered dulcimer. Traditional Thai musical instruments are the musical instruments used in the traditional and classical music’s Thailand. They comprise a wide range of wind, string, and percussion instruments played by both the Thai majority as well as the nation's ethnic minorities. My friend can play every the Thai instruments. She has been played on sport day in the primary school. She told me she learnt how to play Thai instrument when she was young. I think it’s so cool!!!!!!!!!

KHON in Thailand

Khon is the most popular Thai dance since previous time. It is performed by troupes of non-speaking dancers, the story being told by a chor at the side of the stage. Choreography follows traditional models rather than attempting to innovate.Most khon performances feature episodes from the Ramakien.Costumes are dictated by tradition, with demon wearing colored mask.My grandfather told me when I was young he used to played Khon in front of the King Rama6. He was so proud to present for everyone in my family. While he played that he was excited and so happy. Even though my grandfather was died, I still remain him when he played Khon in front of the king.
