Suthep Wongkamhaeng

Suthep Wongkamhaeng ( _th. สุเทพ วงศ์กำแหง) is a Thai singer sometimes referred to as a "crooner." He was named a National Artist in 1990. In 2003 he gained international attention because his song "Pid Tang Rak" ("Wrong Way to Love") was among 18 songs deemed "improper" or offensive to "public decency," by the Ministry of Culture's Culture Watch Center. As the song was twenty years old, and he argued inoffensive, he reacted to the statement with surprise. In 2005 he sang at Princess Petcharat Rajsuda's 80th Anniversary at the request of the Cultural Council.
