And also, Nicolas Gervaise, a French priest and traveler who had visited Ayutthaya, recorded a Mahori music called "Sout Chai" in the book Histoire Naturelle et Politique du Royaume de Siam in 1688. However, historical records indicate that the mahori music "Say Samon" (later called " Sansoen Phra Narai") was already recorded in the Du Royaume de Siam in 1687 by Simon de La Loubère, a French envoy who visited Ayutthaya at that time. : 6 Although it was already a well-established form of music in Thailand during that time, in 1931, Prince Damrong, the author of the History of Thai Music had asserted that the Thai mahori was of Khmer origin and created by the ancient Khmer and later adopted and elaborated in Thai society. Mahori is a form of Thai classical music that has a long history in Thailand, dating back to at least the Ayutthaya period. There are three broad types of Mahori: Mahori Khryang Lek, Mahori Khyrang Khu, and Mahori Khyrang Yai, each differentiated by the types of instruments utilized. Originally, the term referred only to a string ensemble, although today it includes both string and percussion.
It combines the xylophones and gong circles (but not the pi, or oboe) of the piphat with the strings of the khruang sai ensemble. The mahori ( Thai: มโหรี) is a form of Thai classical ensemble traditionally played in the royal courts for the purpose of secular entertainment.
