Phin Pia, A romantic plucked instrument

While a large majority of the Thai youth nowadays seems to be preoccupied with contemporary cults such as Hip Hop, Rock or Pop culture, Withaya Ponwithun, 22, remains fascinated with a classic Northern Thai folk musical instrument called "Phin Pia". Withaya, presently one of Thailand's leading young blood Phin Pia players, remarked that this folk instrument, which almost disappeared several years ago, is truly a romantic plucked string instrument. The Phin Pia, which gives out a soft musical tone, is best played in a quiet place so that its player can create a cozy atmosphere and privately serenade his lover. Occasionally returning to his Lampang home, Withaya is fond of playing the Phin Pia late in the night, as he wanders through the nearby fields under the moonshine and the stars. Without any other interfering noise, Wittaya is able to find his true serenity.

I'm bored that Khmers search and comment on every Thai clip that "this is yours" or "that is yours". But, in fact, you Khmers have nothing left in your country, even people like you which must escape to USA. It is a shame that you are a poor loser and copy all of Thai dances, music and other things from Thai.

Oh, one thing I've just forgot. This instrument originated from Xishuangbanna (northern Thailand) not from Khmer. It does not mean that everything carved on your Angkor Wat or Tom would originate from Khmer. Go and get more education. You lack much of them.

Absolutely beautiful.

The same goes for us. Every time, I go to a simple Khmer Classical Dance or music videos, there's always these two or three idiots (I'm sorry to say) Thais, who keep mocking the Khmer's culture. It's simply disgusting and I wish they would just stop, and this also applied to my Khmer people. Please just STOP! We're from the same bloodline and I wish we can just be mature enough to just respect each others. *sheesh*

Wow this instrument sounds nice. If it isn't for Roy Mai I wouldn't have known this beautiful instrument exists. Thanks for the lovely song.
