It's rare to know Thai culture from this kind of fixed-screen drama. Luckily to sit in a great position to watch it, it's worth it!
When you come to Bangkok, you must see and experience the Thai classical and artistic value.
It's amazing how they combine the props and scene on stage with the digital background (since I expected this show to be oldish)! The actors are ao pretyy. They have sub but too bad on funny adlib scene there's none so we can't understand anything.. We can take photos with the casts after the show and the staffs are so kind and help us to take pic even if we go there alone.
Really good experience to understand the hanuman story and thai culture overall. Would be great if a transfer service is added on. Enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Very worthwhile performance, Hanuman of Lacode Jianli, it is very convenient to collect tickets in this trip, and the QR CODE will soon get the ticket. The dancer's dance profession and costumes, as well as the live performance of the traditional Thai musical instrument band are very professional, it is worth a look at the Thai national quintessence performance!! After the last actor curtain call, I went to the door to take pictures with you. Taking photos with professional dancers is really worth a lot of fun.
It feels good to see.... People benefit a lot... The stage is good.
Very brilliant show! Although the actors wear masks, they still have emotional tension and the music is just right. When there were many students, the audience responded enthusiastically when the actors talked.
Seat is recommended to sit in the E row after the subtitles are more clear. Very classic performance Ramayana story. If you are not familiar with it, you can find the film preview to help the story integration.
The on-site staff reception will help the dancers to perform on stage. Beijing Opera is a traditional Thai cultural performance.
With a mentality of watching Thai opera performances, there are sincere performances, a large number of actors, and live musicians.
