Create a relaxed playlist through the choices of Thai celebrities. Get comfortable and enjoy.

Rest means something different to everyone. For some, rest is silence. For others, it’s music that softens the noise of everyday life. A familiar voice, a gentle melody or a song that feels like it slows everything down for a moment.

The songs people turn to when they want to unwind are often deeply personal.

We asked Thai celebrities what they listen to when they want to unwind. From their all-time favourites and film soundtracks to their own tracks, their answers say a lot about how they rest, reset and find calm in their own way.

Tontawan “Tu” Tantivejakul

A preference for mellow energy in her favourite group.

“I can’t really think of anything, but one group comes to my mind. I listen to XG, but not their fast songs. XG also has slower tracks and I feel like every slow song is really good. I would recommend everyone to listen to them.”

Kanawut “Gulf” Traipipattanapong

A familiar Thai melody

“I do not really know. I would go with the Loy Krathong song.”

Siriwalee “Mable” Siriwibool and Paphavarin “Pangjie” Sawasdiwech

Soft comfort vs bold energy

Mable turns to something calm and comforting:

“Right now for me, it would be 3AM by Finding Hope. It is just very comforting to listen to.”

Pangjie keeps it sharp and energetic:

“Mine would be Spot! by Zico and Jennie.”

Methika “Jane” Jiranorraphat

Peaceful and positive

“I would choose Fujii Kaze’s Garden. It feels very relaxing. The music feels bright and meaningful and the melody helps me unwind.”

Davika “Mai” Hoorne

Music as mood lift

“I am not sure if it is relaxing, but I have been listening to Lady Gaga’s Runway a lot lately after watching The Devil Wears Prada 2. It might not calm me down, but it definitely makes me feel happy.”

Kritsanapoom “JJ” Pibulsonggram

Old favourites return

“Love Never Felt So Good by Michael Jackson. The movie just came out and although I have not watched it yet, I have been listening to the song for a long time. It feels chilled, but not the kind that makes you sleepy.”

Apasra “Yoko” Lertprasert

Easy-listening mood

“Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You. It is such a soft and easy-listening song.”

Prariyapit “Jingjing” Yu

Soft romance tone

“Afraid (Rayya Glai Rak) by JingJing Yu. It is now available on every platform, so please listen to it. It is a cute and comforting song, like the feeling of being in love.”

Jinjett “Jaonaay” Wattanasin

A letter from the songwriter to the listener, offering a moment of calm and ease.

“Sweet Baby (Tid Ter Sa Gon) by Jaonaay. It is a very easy and relaxing listen. You can enjoy it while driving or lying in bed. I really put effort into this song. Listening to it even makes you feel prettier or more handsome, 100%. Whenever I play it in the shower, I feel a little cleaner somehow. That is just how the songwriter feels although I am not sure whether listeners feel the same way.”
