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!

Review for: Khon-Thai Classical Mask Dance (Seat F-K)

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.

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.

Can understand why some people say that it is a comedy, because most actors wear masks, they need to have another mouth, narration often makes people play, English subtitles often do not keep up with the actual performance, quite a lot of Thai conversation content is not translated into subtitles, impromptu performance of the actors Let the band laugh too (and thus know that it is impromptu). If you don't understand Thai, you can feel its humor from the body language. It is not recommended to sit too far. The actors mostly wear masks, and the face expression without masks does not change much. The whole performance is focused on the hands and feet. It is recommended to take the F row and then it will be fine. After the game, the area is not good for the car (can be cancelled 2 times), and you must be mentally prepared.

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 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.

The drama, performance and glamorous performance of the show is due to the need to take taxis and exchange tickets. Therefore, there must be only one service staff to change tickets in advance. Therefore, it is really colder when it takes time. After the jacket is finished, the performers come to the lobby to welcome the photo. This price is very high. The CP value is too high.

Very nice and interesting show to discover thai culture and Ramakien. The theater is nice but don’t forget to bring a jumper or shawl because it is so cold inside...
