more Thai music [33PIX-108]

various artists compilation - pleng thai wong kromsinlapakon

More Thai music. On this LP, there are English letters, so I was at least able to get the names of the artists and the song names. There are also brief liner notes provided in English and provided below.

UPDATE (October 11, 2008): In the comments area, Peter translated the title of this LP which as you can see above is "pleng thai wong kromsinlapakon". The English translation is "thai songs by the fine arts department band".
