This dance is called the RABUM TALIKIPAS ระบำ ตะลีกีปัส or fan dance, and is widely performed throughout the Muslim communities in Southern Thailand [and Malaysia] especially in [Thailand's] Patani province near the Malaysian border. The dance is usually performed during festivals or traditional celebrations. The music is a type of folk music influenced by Malay music and unique to southern Thailand [and Malaysia]. Dancers are dressed in sarongs commonly worn by women in southern Thailand and dance with colorful feather fans.

  • It supposed to be called as Tari Kipas, which means the Fan Dance in Malay.

    This is a Malay culture. There are many Malays in Southern Thailand & they have a strong relationship with Malaysian Malays.
