Each music culture has its own way of creating music, as either an instant improvisation or as a written form. Traditionally, Thai composers based their original sources on pre-existing tunes, either from Thailand or foreign sources. Thus, a new composition would be created through variation techniques, by means of extending or shortening. The goals of this study were to find out: 1) what are the fundamental elements of an original melody; and 2) how the original melody is extended into a double-length melody. The results of the study found that: 1) the fundamental elements of the original melody included---beautiful melody (according to the composer’s view); and drumming patterns; 2) for the writing process the composer will: 2.1) select and set the drum pattern for the original melody and determine the main note (the last note of each drumming pattern) to be retained at the end of each phrase (each drumming pattern) of the extended version. Each drumming pattern is counted as one phrase of the melody. A drumming pattern or a phrase of the melody for a sam chan version is in double length of the song chan version; 2.2) The composer will augment the melody into a larger scale, adding more notes and ornaments depending on his or her skill.

每一種音樂文化都有它自己的音樂創作方式，如即興創作，或是以書面形式來創作。傳統上泰國作曲家將他們現有的本土原創音樂，或外國的音樂作為其創作來源，並在這些旋律基礎上進行創作。因此，一首新的作品，將通過以擴展或縮短（手法）的技術變化來處理。本研究的目地是找出：1）原創旋律的基本元素是什麼；和2）如何將原創旋律擴展為雙倍長度的旋律。研究結果發現：1）原創曲的基本要素包括──優美的旋律（根據作曲家的觀點）；和鼓板模式；2）在書面作曲過程中，作曲家將：2.1）為原創旋律選擇和設定擊鼓節拍模式（鼓板模式），並確定主音（每個鼓板模式的最後一個音）保留到每個樂句的結束（每個鼓板模式的最後一個音符）的擴展版本。每個鼓板模式或樂句對sam chan曲風是song chan曲風的兩倍長度；2.2）作曲家把旋律擴大到更大的音階，根據他或她的技巧添加更多的音符和裝飾音。
