There's a small Christian church near my language school and I ducked in for a few minutes on my way to class a week before Christmas. I slipped off my shoes at the door, took a seat and listened to a few Thai musicians as they practiced for an upcoming worship service. This instrument is called a Ranaat Eek. It resembles a xylophone or marimba and sounds beautiful at the hands of a skilled musician. My favorite part of the experience was realizing what he was playing... "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus."
