Solar System is an instrumental fusion trio from Chiang Mai whose music carries the spirit of Northern Thailand into every performance. Founded by guitarist Gong (Rasmee Isan Soul) and drummer August—and later joined by saxophonist Zen—the band began as a competition project but quickly transcended those origins, winning first place and discovering a sound worth pursuing far beyond the stage.

Rooted in the idea of Chiang Mai Sound, their compositions weave local atmosphere, Thai identity, and contemporary fusion into something unmistakably their own. With their Northern Thai jazz fusion, they manage to capture both the sunset and sunrise of the region—the warmth, the mist, the mountains, the quiet glow. And though there are only three of them, the sound they create rejuvenates the soul: Zen’s powerful saxophone lines carry touches of 80’s nostalgia, Gong’s guitar offers an enchanting melodic drive, and August’s drums form an awakening pulse that lifts the entire room.

Having performed at festivals from Moscow to Pai, Solar System continues to bring the voice of their small northern city to the world.

Come hang with us and catch a slice of Northern Thailand’s soul in the heart of Bangkok.
