Puppets who are alive!
By Dream, 12/8/08
I like the way puppet play with people. They broke the forth wall. I like it's movement and even I could see it was breathing. I thought it live. It could dance Thai traditional dance even better than men. Unbelievable! This is good for family trip and those who is interested in Traditional Art.

One of Bangkok's gems
By Michael, 11/2/07
Not at all difficut to find, the theater is a gem of Bangkok. It offers a glimpse of Thai mythology as well as the opportunity to meet the players after the show for photos. There are numerous exceptional restaurants in the immediate area and the theater lies nestled in the Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Bottom lime: everything you need for a romantic night out that includes a cultural experience to remember. Highly recommended.
