Aed Carabao (Thai: แอ๊ด คาราบาว, RTGS: Aet Kharabao) is the stage name of Yuenyong Opakul (Thai: ยืนยง โอภากุล, RTGS: yuen-yong o-phakun; born 9 November 1954)[1] He is a singer-songwriter and leader of the Thai rock band Carabao, known for its songs in the "songs for life" genre.[2]

In October 2022, the governor of Suphan Buri province filed a defamation complaint with Thai police; Yuenyong Opakul "called the governor names as he slammed him for not inviting him to play at an annual fair in" his hometown; Yuenyong Opakul has apologised.[3][4]
