This tradition of dancing has its root in Khmer. I don't think the people of Thailand, Lao, and Cambodia understant the extent of thier connected ancient history. Surin Province is right next to Cambodia, not Lao. One could have formed a deductive reasoning that this dancing had its root in Khmer. Read----National Geograpic Magazine, July 2009/Angkor- Why an ancient civilization collaped- to get an understanding of how vast the Khmer's Empire was.

@vrinparadise Because dance titles come from song titles. So, other Thai classical dances such as "Lao Duang Duean" or "Lao Siang Thian" are called so because the dances use those songs accordingly. The composer of "Lao Duang Duean" is Krommuen Phichai Prince, and "Lao Siang Thian" is Master Luang Praditpairoh.

The reason that the song titles begin with "Lao" is because composers made these Thai songs to have Lao intonation and for ease of classification, not because Thai took them from Lao.

@ Acrovis ahha .... ok .. thx .. mais pourquoi il ya beaucoup de danse thaïlandaise a pris le nom qui commence par «Lao»? thx encore pour votre explication ... ^ ^;

@vrinparadise We (Thai) call this song 'Lao' because the song used in this dance has Lao intonation. This dance was newly created by Thai Governmental Fine Arts Department in 1957 with the inspiration from the traditional "Ten Saak (เต้นสาก)".

Umm...We say "Loa" because it come from I-san?
