Bangkok CHARMS TOURISTS WITH CULTURAL PERFORMANCES
The fascinating Far East charms visitors into coming over and over with its cultural wonders. Thailand distinguishes itself from the rest of alluring Asia with a distinctive culture that is quite visible in the way local artists perform. These cultural performances draw in big groups of overseas audiences entranced by the classical spectacles and the delicate movement of performers.
From a proud UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage locally known as khon to performances with a modern twist at the world’s first Thai Cultural Theme Park in Phuket, the Kingdom of Thailand struts its stuff through a national and charismatic asset: culture.
1. Charismatic Khon at Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre
The India-inspired, classical masked dance has long been a sought out performing art in the Kingdom of Thailand. Originally admired by court nobles and always supported by kings of Siam, khon has stood the test of time and has proudly become a national treasure. The general public can enjoy it seasonally when productions are put on. The Thai masked dance performance is always based on the Indian epic Ramayana, and it certainly helps to educate yourself on the story first. Artistically, it features poetic narration, skilled acrobatic moves, traditionally beautiful music, and elaborate costumes and masks.
2. Dazzling Cultural Shows at the Siam Niramit
Award-winning Siam Niramit takes pride in Thai culture and, as a world-class performance production, explores Thailand’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. It hosts spectacular shows through one of the world’s largest stage productions. The hall itself holds 2,000 people. Opened in 2005, Siam Niramit is a cultural show with much wow factor featuring 100+ performers, 500 grandiose costumes, heart-thumping sound scores, meticulously designed backdrops, and amazing, state-of-the-art special effects. Each of these flares helps ensure this introduction into Siam’s history and culture will be a mesmerizing experience. Touristy as it sounds, this has become one of Bangkok’s top shows popular among visitors who also have the opportunity to wander through the replica village.
3. Treasure Thai National Performing Arts at the Thai National Theatre
Established by King Rama VI to encourage Thai dancers and musical artists to perform to a wider audience, Thai National Theatre provides complete facilities for the Fine Arts Department to bring the nation’s treasures to life. Currently, the National Theatre maintains the legacy of two types of classical dance: khon and lakhon. The former is performed by a troupe of skilled male artists while the latter features a group of female dancers telling varied stories through their dance moves. Khon dancers perform episodes from the Ramakien, a prized piece of Thai literature, while lakhon dancers perform a broader range of dances from a broader range of sources, including those derived from folk stories and stories from the Ramakien.
4. Thai Puppetry Mastery at Asiatique – The Riverfront
The riverside open-aired night market is home to a few amazing shows. Patrons will be entertained as they relax in this scenic, historic venue dating back to pre-World War II. While offering something for everyone from foodies and shopaholics, Asiatique: The Riverfront on Charoen Krung Road contains visit-worthy performance venues to take in the Joe Louis Traditional Thai Puppet Theatre, the Calypso Cabaret show, and the widely admired Thai boxing. For more culture-centric stuff, Joe Louis Traditional Thai Puppet Theatre is ready to cast a spell on the audience. It is one of only a few Thai puppet troupes that put on performances regularly.
5. Enchanting Thai Puppet Show at Khlong Bang Luang
A canal tour along Khlong Bang Luang is never complete without a must-stop at The Artist’s House to witness an enchanting troupe of local artists performing the lauded Thai puppet show. Upstairs, the 100-year-old ancient art-filled, two-story wooden house is a gallery displaying paintings, photography works, and other art forms. A coffee and souvenir corner occupies the area downstairs. At 2 pm daily, except for Wednesday, a mesmerizing Thai puppet show bringing to life characters from Thai mythology will leave culturally keen visitors utterly spellbound.
