Somsuan Promsawang (12 June 1939 – 3 August 2024), professionally known Phloen Phromdaen was a Thai Luk thung (Thai country song) and speak story singer, and a 2012 winner of National Artist from Thailand[1] [2] award.
He was born on 12 June 1939 in Aranyaprathet District, Prachinburi Province (now in Sa Kaeo Province) to father Pluem and mother Tun. He had five cousins. He has been actively performing since the 1970's. Few people know that Phromdaen was the first luk thung singer to use female hang khrueang (หางเครื่อง, "luk thung dancers") dressed in beautiful feathered costumes, which became a role model for later female luk thung hang khrueang.[3]
He was notable in the psychedelic music area.[4] Phloen Phromdaen died on 3 August 2024, at the age of 85.[5]
