THE NATIONAL THEATRE

Adjacent to the National Museum, the National Theatre programmes traditional Thai dances and music, very exotic shows for the western visitor. Khon's shows are breathtaking: the actors wear traditional masks, the costumes are incredibly fine, and the shows are set to the millimetre. The season runs from November to May, but music and dance performances take place on the last Fridays and Saturdays of each month. For connoisseurs and the curious.
