I had the "privilege" to listen to all of them from my bed in the early morning hours. Well, I guess they are better than the original one, if only for the sake of change.

What I don't like about them is how "Western" they sound. They use western instruments, the style is western - one of them has jazz elements in it - only the lyrics and the familiar tune tell that it has to do something with Thailand. That's strange for the national anthem of a country. It's as if the US chose to play its anthem by an ensemble of traditional Thai instruments.

I wonder what a morlam version of the Thai anthem would sound like...
