According to Suwichan Phatthanaphraiwan, the Kla Kla Chi Klu Ngu song was originally composed by the Pakakeryors over 100 years ago.

In his free time, Suwichan composes and translate songs from the mountains into Thai. Bancha Muhae has launched several initiatives to protect the 20,000-rai community forest and the Pakakeryor's practice of rotation farming.
