    Aksra Theatre

    The former Joe Louis Puppet Theatre has moved house and is starting a new life here as the Aksra Hoon Lakorn Lek. A variety of performances are now held at this modern theatre, but the highlight are performances of the Ramakian that use knee-high puppets requiring three puppeteers to manip­ulate them into humanlike poses.

    Sawasdee

    Sawasdee has been doing the Thai dinner show for 20 years and we reckon it’s got it down by now. Shows span five parts and range from Thai martial arts to northeastern Thai dance, and dinner also offers ample options.
