The National Theatre

4 ซอย ราชินี Khwaeng Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10200, Thailand

More than any other art form, Thai culture is known for its traditional dance. For a truly authentic performance, take in a khon at Bangkok’s National Theatre, where tourists and locals sit side by side to see scenes from Thailand’s national epic, the Ramakien, acted out as classical masked dance. For something more spontaneous, commission a temple dancer at the Eurawan Shrine to bolster your prayers with a three-minute devotional shimmy.
