String is a genre of Thai music roughly equivalent to western pop. Its origins lie in American R&B, surf rock artists like The Ventures and Dick Dale, Exotica, rockabilly and country and western brought over by American and Australian Soldiers serving in Vietnam in the late 1950s and early 60's when on R&R. It also drew heavily on British invasion rock'n'roll, garage rock and Hollywood film soundtracks as well.

However, the term is extremely broad, covering rock, dance music, rap and western-influenced popular music in general. It normally excludes the folk rock pleng phua cheewit (songs for life). Prominent string artists include:
*Bird McIntyre
*Big Ass
*Fahrenheit
*Joey Boy
*Lanna Commins
*Loso
*Tata Young
*Impossibles, The
*Thaitanium
