Glong khaek (Thai: กลองแขก) is a type of double-headed barrel drum used in Thai music.
The instrument's name comes from glong (meaning "drum") and khaek (meaning "Indian" or "Malay"). There are two types of glong khaek: glong khaek tua phu (which is considered to be male) (Thai: กลองแขกตัวผู้) and glong khaek tua mia (female) (Thai: กลองแขกตัวเมีย). They are always played in a pair, usually by two players, although if two players are not available a single player may play both drums. The two drums fit their beats together in hocket, or interlocking form.
Both drumheads are played with the hands, like the glong songna. The glong khaek tua phu has a higher pitch and the glong khaek tua mia has a lower pitch.
