Mike Phiromporn’s New Hit Song “Nam Ta Phua Kao” Resonates in Thailand and Laos

Bangkok: Mike Phiromporn releases a fun, poignant song for ex-lovers, bidding farewell to sadness with his song "Nam Ta Phua Kao" (Tears of an Ex-Husband).

According to Thai News Agency, the new song has been a hit since its release, resonating with fans in both Thailand and Laos. "Nam Ta Phua Kao" by Mike Phiromporn boasts a fun, upbeat rhythm that makes you want to dance, but the lyrics are surprisingly poignant. The song tells the story of a man whose ex-wife has remarried, leaving him heartbroken and tearful. Despite still loving and caring for his ex, he ultimately has to let her go with her new partner. This song is special because the lyrics and melody come from Laos, composed by Sao Niran, and arranged by Jinny Phutai, delivering a moving yet lively version of the sadness through Mike Phiromporn's voice.

In this event, Mike Phiromporn emphasized once again that modern Luk Thung music doesn't always have to be sad and slow. Just being "fun yet poignant" can captivate listeners just as much. For instance, "Nam Ta Phua Kao" is a lively song, but its lyrics narrate a story of love and attachment to a former lover. It is a song suitable for a party or when alone, yet it carries an inescapable feeling of "missing him/her." The music video features "Pomm Paem Phetbanpaeng" as the female lead opposite "Got Jirapat" and is available on the Grammy Gold Official YouTube channel and all other music platforms.
