Khaek Pai Krai Ma

"Khaek Pai Krai Ma" is a Thai phrase expressing the welcoming attitude of the Thai people towards all visitors, while khaek—literally "guest"—is what Thais call people of Indian origin and a word sometimes used with derision to imply outsider. Recalling the director’s childhood experiences, when he was often teased for being a khaek, the project celebrates the valuable role these "guests" have played—and continue to play—in Thai culture and society.
Propelled by a range of songs, including rap and uplifting reworkings of classic songs from famous Indian movies, this musical’s five acts explore different aspects of what it is to be a khaek, and how they have contributed to and influenced Thai society and culture through history.
