Beats of the Heart: The Two Faces of Thailand A Musical Portrait 1983 Directed by Jeremy Marre

Even today, at the king of Thailands birthday celebrations, massed bands play His Majesty’s own compositions, whilst the King plays his clarinet in the royal recording studio. But the musical underbelly of the country had never been exposed before this film, which - by contrast - captures the cabarets and boxing rings of Thailand, and the true street-level music.
