The videos on this playlist are in chronological filming order haha!

I'd like to correct my comments:

When I researched thai instruments before reacting to this, I watched a bunch of "thai classical//thai traditional music" yt videos. They all included the thai fiddle, which has a nasally sound similar to the sample played in this song! After filming this, I came across a comment section that mentioned the Pi Nai (a thai oboe that I called a thai flute in rachel/liam's video 🤦🏻‍♀️) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Sz6GjIdobc) which I think is actually the instrument used in this song. Sorry for my inaccurate comments! I will be correcting myself with edits for the final video. 

EDIT: Turns out it's a sax sample in the verses/chorus and many thai musicians messaged me about the bridge featuring the pi!

So I saw your tweet but decided to response here. You mean what instruments they are most likely trying to replicate? 'Cause I think it is mostly "midi" stuff that may not have authentic "music" origins or even be Thai. Or I can most easily imagine a combo of a little "real" mixed-in w/manufactured . I mean I last worked in a studio in 1974-75 and I wasn't touching sliders or dials since I was mostly a go-fer and a "tech" who worked on the gear. Even though I was 16 att, I learned me enough audio things at the studio and by volunteering at the infamous The Boarding House to later work multiple venues And similar to you guys said: I've personally heard similar sounds in at least 15 countries I've visited in Western Asia, Africa and the "Middle East". Carry-over interest from playing percussion in "Latin" and R&B/funk bands. Oh man I had technical problems posting this message

Another oopsie on my part I didn't notice you wrote "instrumental" in your tweet So I just listened to that track Seems mostly manufactured and even more manipulated. Altho the traditional sounds seem more authentic. I've been to Thailand 3 times, once for a couple of months but I never really thoroughly explored the traditional music scene like I normally do. I did go to a muay-thai kick boxing event In more traditional events a traditional dance is performed before the match w/live musicians who also play during the fights! They played various drums, "cymbals" like the ching but the main instrument is the P-java (sic) which has origins in India thru Java. Hence the name. That is what the higher pitched woodwind instrument/"sample"? sounds most like to what I have heard in person. But my experience is limited.
