National Artist 1992, for the sabatchai drum.
What it is
25 May 1934 – 24 February 2014, born at Nam Phrae in Hang Dong district, Chiang Mai. National Artist in the performing arts (folk performance), 2535 BE.
The long version
Primary school, then the drum. He entered a folk arts competition in 1961 and the sabatchai went from a thing hanging in temple towers to a thing performed.
Inference — the modern sabatchai — the leaping, the elbow and knee against the drum head, the version everybody photographs at Songkran — is a twentieth-century stage form built out of a war drum by named people who are datable. That does not make it less Lanna. It makes it traceable, which is more than most of this sport can say about its own performances.
