"Fahrenheit" is also the name of the group that recorded Keeping The Dream Alive, a UK #1 hit in 1988.

Fahrenheit is a Thai rock band featuring a female lead vocalist, Piraporn Pranpanas, backed by former members of other well-known Thai rock bands. Guitarist Pichet Kruawan was from Y Not 7 while drummer Kittisak and founding bassist Apirath Sukkhajitr were from Loso. Bassist Apirath left the band to rejoin Loso, with Arkom Nuchanin (from Taxi) joining Fahrenheit in March 2006. Despite no new album during that period, the band's new lineup could be seen in live concerts. The band also played backup for Asanee-Wasan in concerts of their latest album Dek Liang Kae (เด็กเลี้ยงแกะ).

The band's songs include "Yah hak lang" ("อย่าหักหลัง", translation "Don't betray me"), "Naam dtaa keu kam dtop" ("น้ำตาคือคำตอบ", "My tears are my answer"), "Ngiap tam-mai" ("เงียบทำไม", "Why so quiet?") and "Pid mai" ("ผิดไหม", "Is it wrong?").
