I really don’t know about a story that is set to music in my country. However, we have the most famous song that I think everybody knows. “Ton Mai Kong Por” or “Father’s tree” is a popular song for Thai people. We sing this song to celebrate our king a long time ago, but this song is still famous even now. The meaning of this song compares the Thai King to a tree, which can give a shade to Thai people. The Thai people love our king very much, because the king planned many useful things for Thai people, such as solving poverty, improving education, and developing infrastructure, etc. He is not only a head of the state, but also spiritual leader of Thai people. This song is popular because of its meaning. In addition, this song is famous because of the singer. His name is Thongchai McIntyre. He has been a very famous singer in Thailand for more than twenty years. Moreover, the company that composed this song is the biggest company in Thailand. This company has the power to promote this song and make this song famous nowadays. If you go to Thailand, I promise that you can hear this song everywhere.
