From farsidemusic.com: "Young Swedish guy goes to Thailand and masters the quintissential Thai lukthung way of singing. Becomes a star, and is acknowledged not just as some novelty blue eyed blond haired lukthung singer, but the equal of most top Thai male singers. Strange but true." (Note from Rob W: CD title listed here may be incorrect; I have this song on an unlabeled dub.)
