Lonely Planet review

The ancient art of Thai puppetry (lákhawn lék) was rescued by the late Sakorn Yangkhiawsod, more popularly known as Joe Louis, in 1985. Joe's children now carry on the tradition. His creations are controlled by three puppeteers and can strike many humanlike poses. Modelled after the characters in the epics Ramayana and Phra Aphaimani, the puppets perform nightly at this air-conditioned theatre, conveniently located in the Suan Lum Night Bazaar, as well as at the King Power Theater.
