Keereeboon, alternatively spelled Kiriboon (), was a Thai pop group active during the 1980s. Their name translates to "canary", referring to a small yellow bird celebrated as the "king of songsters". Associated with RS Sound, they debuted with their first album around 1983, earning acclaim for their melodic ballads and dynamic live shows.
History
The band Keereeboon featured six members, fronted by Ronnachai Thomyapariwat (known as Ord), who served as the lead vocalist. They emerged as teen idols in the 1980s, alongside contemporaries such as Fruity and Rainbow.
Their initial album was released in 1983. From their second album in 1984, the track Plook Rak (ปลูกรัก, meaning "plant a love")—a slow-tempo tango adaptation of a classic Suntaraporn tune—became widely popular.
Additional significant songs from their catalog include Ro Wan Can Rak Ter (รอวันฉันรักเธอ, "waiting for the day that I love you"), Adeed Rak Yam Yen (อดีตรักยามเย็น, "love at sundown in the past"), and Dek Kampra (เด็กกำพร้า, "orphan").
Following the release of their fifth album in 1987, Keereeboon disbanded.
In 2010, the group reunited to perform at a major concert held at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, marking their first stage appearance after a 26-year hiatus.
Lead singer Ord died from brain cancer on October 16, 2021, at the age of 57.
