| Description |
"Phleng Chai Yam" is lively, and funny and captivates the audience's attention. This music is played to celebrate many festivals such as Bon Pka festivals, almsgiving, dragon baptism, and so on. Apart from this, you can also play in some other events such as marching, leading leaders or players, etc.
Chaiyam musical instruments include 5, 7, and 9 long drums (may be more or less as possible), one or a pair of krab, one or a pair of chap, one gong mong (as a rhythm giver or so-called master) And sometimes there are cheong and tro to support as well. For the costume, men are wearing Kben, Sontaes shirt, using different bright colors with a scarf around their waists. Most of the characters wear funny face masks made of paper. Sometimes there is also a female character holding Chap to accompany the dance. If there is no woman, there must be a man dressed as a woman.
Many festivals are held at pagodas, so each pagoda always has a Chai Yam band.
