Jaran Manophet (Thai: จรัล มโนเพ็ชร; 1 January 1951–4 September 2001) was a folk singer of Northern Thailand. Born in Chiang Mai city, he composed and performed around 300 songs, some in Northern Thai (Lanna) language and some in Central Thai.[1] He is credited with being a pioneer in connecting traditional Lanna folksong with Western popular music styles that became widely appreciated in Thailand in the 1970s.[1][2][3] His songs were stylistically simple but appealing; his lyrics brought local experiences of social and economic change into national circulation.[1][2][3]
On 1 January 2022, a memorial sculpture to Jaran Manophet was inaugurated in Buak Haad public park, inside the old city wall of Chiang Mai and near to his birthplace.[4]
