Soonthorn Chairungreuang, also known as Soonthorn Chairatanachot, was a pioneering Thai molam musician from Sarakham, Isan. Born on May 16, 1938, he had a profound passion for music, which he expressed through radio shows and captivating vocal performances. Chairungreuang's innovative style blended traditional molam with psychedelic and disco elements, creating a unique soundscape characterized by eerie delayed guitar, piercing Farfisa-style organ, and dance-heavy grooves. His experimental works, primarily released on his private Khaen Sang label, were compiled in the 2019 album "DIY Disco Molam: Rarities From The Khaen Sang Label," offering a glimpse into his groundbreaking contributions to Thai music.
