| Summary: | Occidental music has been present in Thailand since the sixteenth century as a result of diplomatic exchanges and international relationships with missionaries.

These equivalents have been incorporated into Thai in three principal ways: transliteration, translation and coinage. Problems arise with terms that refer back to English; with newly coined terms adapted without regard to their historical context and their origins; and with terms based on Pali or Sanskrit lexical elements, rendering them incomprehensible. |
