 Opened
in 1933, Chalermkrung Royal Theatre (Sala Chaloem Krung) specialises
in performances of ‘Khon’ – traditional Thai dances of around
two hours in duration which carry a storyline based on aspects
of Thai history and ancient Thai myths and legends. The theatre
was built as a royal project and features high-tech lighting
and sound which add an entirely new dimension to |
|
|
this classical dance art. Other Thai
performing arts (cinema, etc.) are staged at the theatre
throughout the year. Khon is staged annually during winter
months and plays are staged all year round. Whether or not
the theatre warrants a visit is entirely depends on how
much time you have, your interest in the theatre and what’s
on. Best to call first to find out the current performance
schedule.
