La-Ong-Fong (Thai: ละอองฟอง) is a Thai pop band. It was formed in 1996. The name of the band comes from enfant (French for "child"), 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.[citation needed]

History of the band

La-Ong-Fong started from the meeting between Ae and Chomphoo in the Coke Duet Singing Contest in 1988.[2] 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 not quite successful in terms of sales and responses from the audiences generally. After that, the band was dispersed.

In November 2004, three members of La-Ong-Fong came back and released a new EP album, Volume 2. This album was well-received by both new audiences and fans. On 5 September 2005, they released the full album, Cozy Collection.

In 2011, La-Ong-Fong, with a new look, released a new album, Wind-up City. Ab Chob (แอบชอบ ; "like") is the most popular song on the album.
