The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band - the Thai act known for their furiously entertaining blend of traditional Thai music with modern influences make their way over to Shanghai tonight. Inspired by late-night jam sessions and collaborations with local and international artists, their unique fusion of Molam, a traditional music style from Isan (the northeastern part of Thailand), as well as funk, rock, electronic, and psychedelic music has garnered them international acclaim - pioneering an exciting musical landscape on their home turf in Bangkok as well as performing around the world. Led by DJ Maft Sai and featuring skilled instrumentalists, the band takes listeners on a sonic journey filled with infectious rhythms, soulful melodies, and electrifying stage presence - featuring a wide array of instruments including the phin (a kind of lute) and khaen (a mouth organ), giving the band its special flavour. Should make for a heck of a party.

About the Show

The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band is a Thai psychedelic music group known for reimagining “Molam,” a traditional folk music style from Northeast Thailand and Laos. Their sound merges ancient instruments with modern club energy, creating a hybrid live experience that sits between cultural ritual and dancefloor performance.

The 2026 China tour marks their first-ever performances in the country. The show features a six-piece lineup combining traditional instruments like the khaen (Thai bamboo mouth organ) and phin (Thai string instrument) with bass, electric guitar, drums, and percussion. The result is a layered sound that moves between hypnotic folk textures and heavy groove-driven rhythms.

Their music draws from three studio albums — 21st Century Molam, Planet Lam, and Araya Lam — each expanding their fusion of traditional Thai sound and contemporary global music styles.

About the Band

The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band is a six-member ensemble formed by musicians rooted in Thailand’s Molam tradition and contemporary international music scenes.

The group’s core identity lies in its instrumentation:

• Traditional Molam instruments: khaen (bamboo mouth organ), phin (Thai lute)
• Modern rhythm section: bass, electric guitar, drum kit
• Additional percussion layers: Thai percussion and congas

Their music has also reached global mainstream audiences, with tracks featured in HBO’s acclaimed series The White Lotus Season 3 (Thailand), adding further international recognition to their work.

Together, they create a live performance system that blends folk tradition with modern electronic and psychedelic influences.

Why Go

This is the band’s first China tour, offering audiences a chance to experience Molam music reimagined for contemporary live club culture. The performance is built for physical response rather than passive listening, with rhythms designed for dancing and immersive sound exploration.

It is especially suited for audiences interested in global fusion music, live electronic performance, and high-energy psychedelic groove-based concerts.
