Abstract

The Thai music industry is a dynamic field shaped by a rich cultural heritage and the rapid globalization of contemporary music. This paper explores the intricacies of collaboration and rivalry within Thailand's music landscape, examining how traditional and modern influences interact in a space where competition and cooperation coexist. By analyzing the relationships between artists, producers, and institutions, this research highlights how these dual forces of collaboration and rivalry drive creativity and shape the broader music ecosystem in Thailand. The study also considers how the increasing influence of international genres impacts local trends and how Thailand's music industry navigates its place on the global stage.

By embracing the dual forces of collaboration and rivalry, Thailand's music scene continues to evolve, blending tradition with modernity and carving out a unique identity in the global music market.
