Bangkok insights
All traveling needs before visit Thailand

Siam Niramit is a world-class performance that looks at Thailand's artistic and cultural heritage. This must-see show is performed on a gigantic stage (now listed in the Guinness World Records!) and features over 150 performers and as many as 500 costumes. Enhanced special effects and the world's most advanced sound, light and stage technology combine to make this a very realistic, stimulating, and inspiring experience. No-one should miss this “Journey to the Enchanted Kingdom of Thailand” – you will be surprised and entertained throughout the 80-minute show.
Thai puppet shows are something of a Thai tradition and never heard of them until now. The art had all but died out when a local bloke named Joe Louis (well that's his nickname) vowed to restore this ancient art and the government bankrolled him to start a theatre, make puppets and train the many performers who handle them.
It's nothing like any puppet show I imagined. No Punch and Judy's in sight. The puppets and puppeteers are equally important to the performance. Each puppet requires 3 people to handle them; one with his hand up the jaxie holding the body and left arm, one the feet and the other the right hand. They synchronise their movements and dance together as the 1 metre puppets seemingly float through the air.
