THE JUKKS

The Jukks are a Bangkok rock band whose sound moves between Thai indie rock and phleng phuea chiwit — the folk-rooted, socially conscious style that has shaped Thai popular music for decades — giving their songs an acoustic warmth that sits alongside the louder, electric side of their catalogue. Active since 2009, they've built a steady following of around 30,000 Spotify followers without much mainstream crossover, which means their live shows tend to draw a crowd that already knows the words. That kind of room — smaller, familiar — usually makes the quieter, folk-leaning songs land harder than they would on a bigger stage.
