If you are entirely unfamiliar with the Luk Thung genre, you might as well begin by familiarizing yourself with this short Wikipedia description.
There is this description, too:
Pleng luk thung, or Thai country music, was invented in the early 1950s to reflect daily trials and tribulations of rural Thais. Ponsri Woranut and Suraphon Sombatjalern were the genre’s first big stars, and helped incorporate influences from Latin America, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and, especially, American film soundtracks and country music (including yodelling). Many of the most popular pleng luk thung stars have come from the central city of Suphanburi, including future megastar Pompuang Duanjan, who adapted pleng luk thung to 1980s string and pop music by making a dance-ready form called electronic luk thung. When Pompuang died in 1992, many observers felt that luk thung would die with her, but it persisted and, with the advent of the first all luk thung radio station in 1997, soon saw a major revival.
You can sample some selected songs at radio.video.trad. It appears that there may only be 15 of them in total, but they should play automatically, provided the site is functioning properly. I am not sure that it does — at least, it was not on this day.
There are a couple of sites that do reviews of Luk Thung music videos. The blog loogthung.blogspot.com is one. Another is monrakplengthai.blogspot.com — this one actually specializes in reviews of albums.
The site MadeLoud.com has a two-part look at thai luk thung Videos. Part I and Part II are both very entertaining.
There’s a Farang angle to this style of music — check out this interview with Jonas Anderson and Christy Gibson.
Although he is not strictly a Luk Thung artist by any means, this is a nice article about Thongchai (Bird) McIntyre.
Be sure to have a look at the Music category, for Luk Thung has been touched upon in earlier posts.
