La-Ong-Fong (Thai: ละอองฟอง) is a Thai pop band.It was formed in 1996. The name of the band comes from Enfant (French, "Kid, Children"), transliterated as "อองฟอง" (pronounced, Ong-Fong). Then they put the word "ละ" (La) in front of it, to make it sound more Thai — "ละอองฟอง" (La-Ong-Fong) — as "ละออง" (La-Ong) in Thai has its own meaning as "drizzle", and "ฟอง" (Fong) as "bubble".[1]

The band’s music style is influenced by Swedish pop. The notabilities of this band are a vibrant music that mixes jazz, pop and rock together, and the singer’s vocals are crystal clear.[2]

History of the band

La-Ong-Fong started from the meeting between Ae and Chomphoo in the Coke Duet Singing Contest in 1988.[3] Then, Chomphoo signed as an artist at Grammy Records and invited Ae to join the band. Ae invited Fluke, a senior at his old school to be the drummer , Nhong, his colleague, to be the keyboardist and Man, Nhong's junior at university, to be the guitarist.
The first album of the band “Volume 1” was quite successful in terms of sales and responses from the audiences generally. After that, the band was dispersed.
In November 2004, La-Ong-Fong came back and released a new EP album, Volume 2, by 3 members. This album sounded like a very good response from both new audiences and fans. Afterwards, they have released the full album, Cozy Collection, on September 5, 2005.
In 2011, La-Ong-Fong, with a new look, released a new album "Wind-up City". Ab Chob (แอบชอบ like) is the song in this album that has let everyone know La-Ong-Fong.
