Thai Music
Thai Classical Music popularly referred to as dontri Thai doem was initially played at court and it was based on Khmer styles. There exist three types of symphonic groups for Thai classical music namely; a percussion-dominated group, Pi Phat, which performs at the court ceremonies and in the theatre; a string-dominated ensemble known as kruang sai, typically heard in indoor instrumental settings; as well as mahori mixed ensemble that often go along with soloists, occasionally in the theatre settings.
