Pumpuang Duangjan

Ramphueng Chithan (; 4 August 1961 – 13 June 1992), known professionally as Pumpuang Duangjan (; ), was a Thai singer and actress. Honored as the "Queen of Luk Thung", she is one of the most celebrated luk thung vocalists in Thailand.

Life The child of poor farmers, Pumpuang had only two years of primary education before her family's plight forced her to take to the fields as a sugar cane cutter. Although illiterate, she was adept at memorising lyrics and participated in many local singing competitions. At age 15, she came to the notice of a visiting band, Waiphot Phetsuphan, and from the late 1970s onwards, her fame skyrocketed. Her lyrics often spoke about Thailand's rural poor.

In Thailand, lupus is colloquially referred to as 'Phumpuang's disease,' (; ) following the death of Phumpuang from the illness, which brought widespread public attention to the condition.
