About me / Bio:
Suraphol Sombatcharoen, born Lamduan Sombatcharoen on September 25, 1930, in Suphan Buri province, was a pioneering Thai luk thung singer. Known as the "King of Luk Thung," he was a major star and one of the genre's first significant figures. His career began in the 1950s, and he quickly rose to fame with hits like "Nam Ta Sao Wieng" ("Tears of a Lao Girl"), which marked the emergence of luk thung. Suraphol's music incorporated influences from various genres, including American country music and Afro-Cuban rhythms. He enjoyed popularity alongside global icons like Elvis Presley and The Beatles and was sometimes referred to as the "Thai Elvis." Suraphol composed over 100 songs, with "Sao Suan Taeng" ("The Girl from the Cucumber Field") and "Siphok Pi Haeng Khwam Lang" ("16 Years of Our Past") among his best-known works. Tragically, he was assassinated on August 16, 1968, after a live performance, and the motive for his murder remains unknown. His legacy continues to influence the luk thung scene and Thai culture.
