Pop Pongkool is not your run-of-the-mill pop singer. The man doesn't have a flashy wardrobe or drop-dead gorgeous features--but what he excels at is making honest-to-goodness Thai music. He's especially good at touching pop ballads, as is evident on the song "Ying Mai Roo Ying Tong Tam" from his solo album The Other Side. He's also a champion of optimistic tunes, as shown on the uplifting tracks "Mee Ral Talord Pai" and "Ploi". Our playlist offers his feel-good best.
