Many people visit Thailand each year, it’s become a very popular holiday destination, not just for backpacking students on their gap year following the hippy trail of their parents, but as a mainstream holiday destination, especially for Australians and also for Europeans despite the long-haul flight times. It’s a number of years since I’ve visited the country, although my husband Peter and I did so both for business and for leisure many times between the 1970s and 2010. Its culture of music and dance is a fascinating mixture of Chinese, Khmer and Indian due to its location in the southern part of mainland Asia. The musical instruments are similarly a mixture from the three cultures. This group perform some traditional Thai Music and dance.

It gets pretty humid in Thailand. Hotels I don’t mind…I’ve lived in quite a few, good and bad!
Very different. I felt many of the instruments were not there.

What do you mean Roger? I don't understand when you write "I felt many of the instruments were not there."
puff:
I do love the Ka'an, from Laos. Like a Pan bamboo pipe flute that sounds like a harmonica eg blow/ suck different notes..
@Redheadedgammy I felt thast there possibly two other string instruments there playing off stage. Mind you there was much more emphasis on singer and dancers.
Lovely music and dancing. Really enjoyed this one.
