oldangelmidnight, no there isn't a lot of people doing this with traditional thai instruments. The electronic and noise community sample things or generate noise at performances sometimes, but it isn't as interesting as what is happening in Japan with their use of old traditional instruments into new ideas. It isn't really happening here yet. The people that do do it usually focus on live performance and not recording. And yes, 'folk' here is the same as in the west. Traditional music is very rigid and extremely limited in the rules of how you are supposed to play it in that genre of music. If you are interested in old music that is not 'traditional', there is a lot of things that are very beautiful too. I don't know what type of music you enjoy though
Chankgeez, many places that use animals to make money from tourists here are involved in corruption and often abuse many laws by bribing local police. As the environment is damaged more and more each year, many animals are losing their homes and people traffic or sell them to make money. The animals don't need people to take care of them in contained places, they need people to stop destroying the forests and leave large areas for them to live a natural life without seeing humans. If you ever travel here, please try not to support places that don't let animals live in their natural habitat and use them to make profit for themselves instead. There are some places that really care about animals, many places that care for abused and injured animals, but there are many more that just care about making money from suffering and lying. I am not sure about the video you posted, but know that many people visit it every year.
