15 Thai Female Singers to Know
1. Lisa
Lisa is a Thai singer, rapper, and dancer from Buriram who became internationally known as a member of BLACKPINK. The group is part of the South Korean K-pop industry, but Lisa herself is Thai, making her an important name in any modern overview of female singers from Thailand.
Her solo career began with LALISA in 2021, which included “Lalisa” and “Money.” She later established LLOUD and expanded her solo catalog with songs such as “Rockstar,” “New Woman,” and “Born Again.”
Lisa is an accessible starting point for listeners who already follow international pop or K-pop. Her solo work moves between pop, rap, and performance-focused dance music while maintaining a distinct identity alongside her work with BLACKPINK.
Start with: “Rockstar” or “Money.”
2. MILLI
MILLI is one of the most prominent female rappers from Thailand’s newer generation. She gained attention through Thai rap releases before reaching a broader international audience, including an appearance at 88rising’s Coachella showcase in 2022.
Her debut album, BABB BUM BUM, followed in 2022 and reinforced her ability to move between hip-hop, pop, and cross-border collaborations.
MILLI is a good choice for listeners who associate Thai music mainly with polished pop and want to hear a different side of the country’s contemporary scene. Her catalog mixes fast-paced rap, playful pop elements, and frequent shifts between languages and styles.
Start with: “Mirror Mirror” or “SUDPANG!”
3. Palmy
Palmy, whose name is Eve Pancharoen, is a Thai-Belgian singer associated with Thai pop and pop-rock since the early 2000s. Her self-titled debut album arrived in 2001, and her catalog has since combined accessible pop songwriting with guitars, rhythmic grooves, and occasional stylistic experimentation.
Songs such as “Yaak Ja Rong Dang-Dang (อยากร้องดังดัง)” and the later “Sorn Klin (ซ่อนกลิ่น)” offer useful introductions to different stages of her career.
Listeners who prefer live-band energy and guitar-oriented pop may find Palmy particularly appealing. Her long career also connects today’s Thai pop scene with an earlier generation of successful female recording artists.
Start with: “Sorn Klin (ซ่อนกลิ่น)” or “Yaak Ja Rong Dang-Dang (อยากร้องดังดัง).”
4. Ink Waruntorn
Ink Waruntorn is a Thai pop singer known for polished synth-pop. Before establishing her solo career, she was part of the group Chilli White Choc. Her later solo material developed a more distinctive mix of synthesizers, electronic textures, disco influences, and melodic pop.
Her early solo project Bliss helped establish that direction, while songs such as “ฉันต้องคิดถึงเธอแบบไหน (Cloudy),” “เหงา เหงา (Insomnia),” and “ดีใจด้วยนะ (Glad)” became important parts of her catalog.
Ink is a strong recommendation for listeners exploring modern Thai female pop artists. Her production tends to feel sleek and contemporary without making every release sound the same.
Start with: “ฉันต้องคิดถึงเธอแบบไหน (Cloudy)” or “เหงา เหงา (Insomnia).”
5. BOWKYLION
BOWKYLION is the stage name of Thai singer-songwriter Pichsinee Veerasuthimas. Her background includes formal vocal study, an appearance on The Voice Thailand, and work with the band SKIPIT before she developed her solo career.
Her solo releases draw from pop, R&B, and electronic production rather than staying within a single style. “ลงใจ (Lonjai)” became one of her notable releases, while her album Lionheart further established her as a songwriter and producer as well as a vocalist.
BOWKYLION suits listeners looking for emotionally focused contemporary Thai pop with R&B and electronic influences. Songs such as “วาดไว้ (recall)” provide another useful introduction to her sound.
Start with: “ลงใจ (Lonjai)” or “วาดไว้ (recall).”
6. Violette Wautier
Violette Wautier is a Thai-Belgian singer-songwriter whose music sits between mainstream pop and a more atmospheric alternative style. She has recorded in both Thai and English, making her catalog approachable for international listeners exploring Thai artists.
Her debut album Glitter and Smoke arrived in 2020 and included songs such as “Smoke” and “I’d Do It Again.” Her music often places more emphasis on mood, songwriting, and restrained arrangements than on performance-driven dance-pop.
If you prefer alternative pop and singer-songwriter material, Violette is a good place to begin.
Start with: “Smoke” or “I’d Do It Again.”
7. Tata Young
Tata Young has been part of Thai pop for decades and is an important established name in the country’s mainstream pop tradition.
Her catalog includes both Thai recordings and English-language material aimed at a wider Asian audience. Songs such as “Sexy Naughty Bitchy,” “Dhoom Dhoom,” and “Cinderella” reflect the dance-pop side of her career.
For listeners interested in internationally oriented Thai pop before the current T-pop era, Tata Young provides useful context. Her inclusion also helps show that Thailand’s female pop scene extends well beyond artists who emerged during the streaming era.
Start with: “Sexy Naughty Bitchy” or “Dhoom Dhoom.”
8. Da Endorphine
Da Endorphine, whose name is Thanida Thamwimon, first became widely known as the frontwoman of the Thai band Endorphine before developing a solo career.
Her music combines mainstream Thai pop with ballads and a stronger rock influence than many contemporary pop soloists. That makes her one of the clearer choices for listeners specifically interested in Thai female rock or pop-rock singers.
Tracks such as “Dai Yin Mai (ได้ยินไหม)” are among the more recognizable parts of her solo catalog, while material from the Endorphine period offers another side of her career.
Da is especially worth exploring if you prefer melodic vocals backed by guitars rather than electronic or dance-centered production.
Start with: “Dai Yin Mai (ได้ยินไหม)” or “Song Jai (สองใจ).”
9. Christina Aguilar
Christina Aguilar is a Bangkok-born singer whose career represents an earlier generation of Thai mainstream pop and dance music.
Her catalog includes songs such as “Hua Jai Kor Ma (หัวใจขอมา),” “Prawatsart (ประวัติศาสตร์),” “Natee Tee Ying Yai (นาทีที่ยิ่งใหญ่),” and “Plik Lock (พลิกล็อค).” Her place on this list is less about representing today’s T-pop sound and more about showing that Thailand’s female pop tradition extends much further back than the current wave of streaming-era performers.
She is a useful starting point for listeners who want to explore veteran Thai female pop singers and the music that preceded many of today’s younger soloists.
Start with: “Hua Jai Kor Ma (หัวใจขอมา)” or “Plik Lock (พลิกล็อค).”
10. Mai Charoenpura
Mai Charoenpura is another established name in Thailand’s pop scene. Her music is generally rooted in Thai pop but frequently uses guitar-driven arrangements, giving parts of her catalog a strong pop-rock character.
Recordings such as “Phae Jai (แพ้ใจ),” “Dok Mai Kap Chaekan (ดอกไม้กับแจกัน),” and “Sia Jai Dai Yin Mai (เสียใจได้ยินไหม)” offer useful introductions to her music. Her work from the 1990s is particularly relevant for listeners interested in Thai pop before today’s T-pop branding became common.
Mai also fits searches for Thai female rock singers, although describing her simply as a rock artist would be too narrow. Pop with a significant rock influence is a better description of much of her work.
Start with: “Phae Jai (แพ้ใจ)” or “Sia Jai Dai Yin Mai (เสียใจได้ยินไหม).”
11. Sorn
Sorn is a Thai singer who first became widely known through the K-pop industry. After winning K-pop Star Hunt in 2011, she later debuted with the South Korean girl group CLC in 2015.
Her solo career developed separately from the group, beginning with “Run” in 2021. Releases including “Sharp Objects,” “Nirvana Girl,” “Not A Friend,” and “Reservations” have since expanded her catalog as an individual pop artist.
CLC was a South Korean K-pop group, while Sorn herself is Thai. She therefore fits naturally in a guide to Thai female singers, particularly for readers interested in Thai performers whose careers crossed into the Korean music industry.
Start with: “Nirvana Girl” or “Sharp Objects.”
12. Lula
Lula, whose name is Kanyarat Tiyapornchai, is associated with Thailand’s indie-pop scene and has developed a sound that includes elements of bossa nova, light electronic pop, and relaxed acoustic songwriting.
Her recording career reaches back well before the late 2010s. Songs such as “Ruang Tee Kor (เรื่องที่ขอ),” “Mai Yoo Nai Cheewit Tae Yoo Nai Hua Jai (ไม่อยู่ในชีวิตแต่อยู่ในหัวใจ),” “Possible,” and the duet “Ta Lay See Dum (ทะเลสีดำ)” provide several entry points into her catalog.
Lula offers a change of pace from the dance-pop, rap, and rock-oriented performers on this list. Her music is especially suitable for listeners who prefer softer arrangements and melodic singer-songwriter material.
Start with: “Ruang Tee Kor (เรื่องที่ขอ)” or “Mai Yoo Nai Cheewit Tae Yoo Nai Hua Jai (ไม่อยู่ในชีวิตแต่อยู่ในหัวใจ).”
13. Jannine Weigel
Jannine Weigel, also known to Thai audiences as Ploychompoo, is a Thai-German pop singer who built much of her early audience online.
Born in Germany, she moved to Thailand while still young and developed her music career there. Her catalog includes English-language and Thai pop material, with songs such as “Passcode,” “Words,” and “Finish Line” providing accessible starting points.
Her combination of Thai and international influences makes her a relevant addition for listeners interested in contemporary female pop singers connected to Thailand.
Start with: “Passcode” or “Words.”
14. WONDERFRAME
WONDERFRAME adds another hip-hop perspective to the list. Her music sits at the intersection of Thai rap and melodic pop, allowing rap verses and sung hooks to work together naturally.
One useful introduction is “Yoo Dee Dee Kor… (อยู่ดีๆก็…),” her collaboration with Youngohm. Her broader catalog remains rooted in hip-hop and rap while frequently drawing on the accessibility of pop songwriting.
For listeners specifically looking for Thai female rappers, WONDERFRAME and MILLI demonstrate that Thailand’s female hip-hop scene includes more than one style or approach.
Start with: “Yoo Dee Dee Kor… (อยู่ดีๆก็…)” featuring Youngohm.
15. Earth Patravee
Earth Patravee is a Thai singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music provides one of the gentler entries on this list. Her work has roots in acoustic songwriting and folk-pop, while other releases explore fuller pop arrangements.
Tracks such as “SKY & SEA” and “ถ้าฉันหายไป (Skyline)” are useful introductions to her music.
Earth is particularly suitable for listeners who enjoy acoustic guitar, soft pop, and songwriter-led material. Alongside Lula and Violette Wautier, she helps represent the indie and singer-songwriter side of Thailand’s female music scene.
Start with: “SKY & SEA” or “ถ้าฉันหายไป (Skyline).”
