Silly Fools (SF) is one of the most successfulFact|date=July 2007 rock bands in Thailand. Their music can be described as modern rock.

The band worked with Bakery Music, an independent label, and released an EP named "Sampler". The band then moved to More Music and released their first full length album, "I.Q. 180", but attracted a small audience compared with that of labelmates Loso.

Silly Fools popularity increased as the musical style of their later albums was more accessible to the public. They are now considered among the top rock bands in Thailand.

Silly Fools was the winner of the favorite artist for Thailand at the 2005 MTV Asia Awards.
