Samakkhi Prathet Thai
2005 studio album by Carabao
Samakkhi Prathet Thai (Thai: สามัคคีประเทศไทย; lit. 'Unity of Thailand'), also known as Samakki Thailand, is the twenty-fourth studio album by Thai rock band Carabao. It was released in March 2005.
The album was released amid the resurgence of the South Thailand insurgency and promoted a message of national solidarity in many of its songs, including the eponymous track "Samakkhi Prathet Thai". One notable track, "Khwan Thai Chai Nueng Diao", which had been previously released as a single, was specifically written to appeal to audiences in the troubled southern provinces. The single version featured 43 guest artists, including Princess Ubol Ratana.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2005 studio album by Carabao” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 2, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q13022598. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
