Bingkai Karya – Indonesian singer-songwriter Pamungkas returned to Thailand on October 10, 2026, performing at The Greatest Playlist Curated by H3F in Bangkok. His appearance marked his third performance in the city, reflecting a growing connection between his music and Thai audiences.

Pamungkas was among the artists selected by H3F to join the festival’s lineup, which brought together musicians chosen through the team’s personal curatorial approach. The performance offered another opportunity for Pamungkas to connect with listeners outside Indonesia through a catalog that continues to reach audiences across Asia.

During the show, Pamungkas performed eight songs spanning his musical catalog: “Birdy,” “One Bad Day,” “To The Bone,” “I Love You But I’m Letting Go,” “Riddle of the Night,” “Berapa Kali Kita Akan Saling Memaafkan,” “Live Forever,” and “ADAM.”

While “To The Bone” remains one of his best-known songs among international listeners, the audience response extended beyond the familiar hit. The crowd also warmly welcomed his other songs, including “Berapa Kali Kita Akan Saling Memaafkan” and “ADAM,” both performed in Indonesian.

For Pamungkas, seeing audiences in another country connect with songs in a language they may not speak carries particular meaning. The response in Bangkok reflected how listeners can develop a deeper appreciation for an artist beyond a single widely recognized track.

“What was most enjoyable was seeing that they apparently came not just waiting for ‘To The Bone.’ They knew and enjoyed the other songs, even those whose lyrics were entirely in Indonesian. For me, that is always a special experience—when music can travel further than its language,” Pamungkas said.

His third appearance in Bangkok also reflects the gradual development of his international audience. In recent years, his music has reached listeners across several Asian countries, with connections growing organically through his songs and the people who discover them.

“To The Bone” may have introduced Pamungkas to many listeners abroad, but the Bangkok performance showed that some audiences are now exploring more of his catalog, from earlier releases to newer works. The response suggests that his relationship with international listeners is extending beyond a single hit.

For Pamungkas and his team, this growing connection represents an important part of his musical journey. Rather than simply bringing Indonesian music to another country, the experience demonstrates how listeners can form personal connections with songs regardless of the language.

As his international journey continues, Pamungkas hopes to keep building meaningful relationships with audiences through his music. His third performance in Bangkok stands as a reminder that the most lasting connection may come when listeners begin to find songs of their own within an artist’s wider catalog.
