Thousands of miles separate Bangkok from Los Angeles, but two Thai schoolgirls recently proved that rock and roll knows no borders. In a spontaneous after-school performance, still clad in their uniforms, they delivered a stunning cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” that belied their age. Both singers hit every note with precision, while guitarist Vimolwan Saisathit—better known as Petty Rock—shredded the iconic solo with Slash-level finesse.
Yet the unexpected star wasn’t even part of the band: a tiny toddler backup dancer stole hearts as she bounced and grooved along, microphone in hand. Fans can only imagine the powerhouse trio these girls could become once the little one learns to sing.
The viral performance took place on April 28, 2023, at Siam Indy Stage in Bangkok’s Siam Square One mall. Uploaded to YouTube by Stop the next day, the clip quickly racked up 3.7 million views. Petty Rock, now 14 and born December 7, 2009, continues to impress online with her own channel, PettyRock, boasting 169,000 subscribers. Her repertoire includes studio and live covers of rock and metal classics, including a standout rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” from when she was just seven.
Fans have praised Petty’s energy and skill, commenting: “The guitarist nailed it with swagger and precision, the lead vocals were spot-on, and that toddler in yellow had unbelievable stage presence.” With performances like this, Petty Rock is showing that rock royalty can come from anywhere—even a Bangkok classroom.
