Thai rock (Thai: ไทยร็อก) is rock music from Thailand. It was heavily influenced by American and British rock bands. Originally emerging in the 1960s, when Thai musicians played cover rock songs for American G.I. soldiers during the Vietnam War (1960s to 1970s), Thai rock later flourished in the 1980s with bands like Asanee–Wasan, Carabao and Micro.
