Silly Fools is a very successful Thai Rock music band. They are well-known for their talent and their unique style. Their style is so unique that it becomes a first-of-its-kind of Thai rock music. Silly fools musical style was the complete polar opposite to what Thai rock bands were doing at the time leading them to be quite unpopular for example the songs Toh wrote where stories about social realities listening to Silly Fools' songs were like a reality check on how toxic society is. Their popularity skyrocketed with the release of the albums Mint, Juicy and King size. Many artist were inspired by them including Clash Lomosonic Retrospect Sweet Mullet Potato Body Slam and Ebola. Silly fools are known by single "เพียงรัก"(Piang-Ruk), "ไหนว่าจะไม่หลอกกัน"(Nai-Wa-Ja-Mai-Lork-Gun) from album I.Q.180 at 1999.

Overview
Silly Fools (SF) is a Thai rock band. Their music can be described as modern rock. The group first formed in 1995, and in 1996, released an EP named Sampler on the independent label Bakery Music.

The band then moved to More Music and released their first full-length album, I.Q. 180, but attracted a small audience compared with that of labelmates Loso. Silly Fools popularity increased as the musical style of their later albums was more accessible to the public. They are now considered among the top rock bands in Thailand. Silly Fools was the winner of the favorite artist for Thailand at the 2005 MTV Asia Awards.

Formation (1996)
Silly Fools original name was Silly Foolish which was founded by Jakrin Juprasit,  Gongpop Baiyaem, Weerachol Satahying and Tawalit Srisook in 1996. They submitted a demo to bakery music in which they made an EP Album project named Bakery Sampler with two other bands named Wiset niyom  and Stone Soul. This project was just a sample album. If the album sold up to 20,000 copies then silly foolish would be able to join the musical company. They then changed their name to Silly Fools because they said their name was too long.

After their first unsuccessful EP Silly Fools had to separate for 1 year to perform normal occupations

In 1998 Pom - Assanee Chotikul established "More Music" which was a sister company to GRAMMY which sparked the band members to try submitting a demo to them which passed the qualifications. Silly Fools then signed a contract with More Music. Silly Fools then released their first album I.Q.180 which had the song "สู้ไม่ได้" (Soo Mai Dai) and "เมื่อรักฉันเกิด" (Muer-Ruk-Chun-Kerd) which sold 40,000 which was considered as very little compared to other albums but the overall reviews were positive

2006-2011 Toh resigns
In 2006 Toh the lead singer at the time came out to announce his resignation from Silly Fools with the reason being that his work environment didn't support his belief in Islam and internal disagreement with other band members ultimately led to this decision. This was shocking news to the Thai music industry. Toh then formed a new band called Hangman, the other band members announced that they will continue to perform as Silly Fools and were hiring a new vocalist. 2006 Silly Fools announced that they had a new lead singer which performed in the fate festival concert whilst wearing a mask keeping his identity a secret.

The following December Ton, Rang, Tor, and the new singer started to promote their new album even appearing in several talk shows. They announced that the album will be on sale the following year and that the album was called Mini which was a collection of 5 English songs. They also revealed the identity of the new singer Benjamin Jung Tuffnell. Silly Fools almost changed their lead singer to David Usher by the recommendation of a Canadian band but they declined due to his old age. Mini contained Stay Away as it's the first track.

In 2008 Silly Fools resigned from GMM Grammy to join RS even though they had been working for GMM Grammy for 10 years with Tor the band's drummer releasing the first piece of work before releasing The One album in the following March. The album had 2 versions an English and Thai version and although the album received good reviews they weren't even close to the albums when Toh was the lead singer.
