Another interesting thing about the song Manohk the gunfire at the end is from a failed coup that erupted around them while they were playing a concert. From the kwam nai jai (Recollections) note on the album Amerigoy (my translation which should be 90-95% correct): Carabao became an extremely hot musical group in this period. There is no one who doesn’t know Carabao. We were pulled into participating in a war without our knowledge. The sound of a large tank cannon that you hear at the end of the song ‘Manok” is real. It’s from while we were in the middle of playing for an audience at an army field, and the sound of a gun resounded loudly. That was the first time that I had seen or heard a tank fire. Lek grabbed up a gun, a 38. I grabbed a Walther P.38 9 millimeter to have then said to Lek Hey duck first! Our guns are too small. – Aed Carabao According to the Wikipedia, this was the failed coup of September 9, 1985 lead by Manoonkrit Roopkachorn. The band had been invited to do a concert at a military base when the fighting erupted around them. Later in the studio they took the sound from that event and placed it at the end of Manok. And the album has a big 6 on the cover because it is the 6th album, but if you turn the album cover upside down, it says 9 September, the date of that event https://youtube/watch?v=TdPRyDcECp0
