Thailand: Folk Music, who are these angels?
To be totally honest, I don’t exactly know how I ended up in this part of the YouTube algorithm but I have found myself running through a wildflower field of Thai folk music and all I want to do is lie on a blanket under a tree and journal about the past. I have no idea at all who any of these singers are but the music is dreamy and the Youtube comments are gentle.

Rough google translation of youtube comments:
“I am 22 years old, born 1997, I don't know what it is. I like old music very much. Like to talk to many old people Because you can feel Pure sincere words that are rare in this era.”
“Still listening today Miss writing a letter Coin-operated telephone It shows the value of each other. More than today Many times make me think that I am not suitable for this era or the year 2017.”
“Accept it .. with what it is .. the day ahead .. There are still ... ...”
"In the olden days, love would be pure ... Love and love was not as easy as today.”
“Really cute Stay in my heart forever ...”
“Had a first love. At that time, thinking of a girl, this song was taken when feeling very well. Never forget the time, it may not even be forgotten.”
“Learn to play guitar with this song because it is the most easy to handle. Playing, crying because of heartbreaking. Oh, the heart. Why do you forget him?”

“Go back to the age of 17. Now, I think about the past and am happy.”
“At that time I was about to be a young man.”
"At that time, listening to the melancholy songs of the age of thirteen, now fifty-four already. Thinking of yesterday, yesterday's health began to deteriorate according to time and time. But the memories remain"
“And then we get old When it really consumes everything But when listening, think of the happy times in those days”
“This year, I am 51. Going back to the olden days, listening to this song is very beautiful. I am impressed today.”
“In the past, I liked to sit and listen to her singing at D-Five. Siam really likes it. Now 59 and just a moment”

Based on a rough google translation of YouTube comments, I believe this song was featured in a 1976 film called Chaotic Youth or perhaps Teenage Chaos. From what I’ve gathered, it seems like it may have been the first Thai film to focus on teenagers and on coming of age themes. The film is available in full on youtube - watch here.
“Our father's favorite song has become our favorite song. Father is now 56 years old. As for me, I am just 17 years old.”
“Practice playing guitar for a long time with this song .... innocent age. At that time ... was a comfortable life without any responsibility except for studying. The world at that time was not very chaotic ... Bangkok at that time was very comfortable, not crowded.”
“Grandma said that every anniversary The eyes will cry for Grandpa. On the day that Khun Ta Non Hospital Grandma cried to her eyes. Grandma laughed and smiled, telling her to love before dawn. Grandpa will go to heaven ❤”

“Use beautiful language Only the song is a friend distressed”
“Whenever listening, it's sad everywhere. Thank you very much”
“Because you can listen all the time. I miss you at that time. Playing the guitar by myself. Sing by yourself. Now, play tricks and sing to children. Son likes.”
“Reminiscing about this song during junior high school, singing contests in the classroom. The teacher gave the full score, so come back to listen to the lonely now.”
“Tears flow with her.”
“I miss my first girlfriend. When I left, I left. Listen gently when it rains.”
