Thailand never fails to surprise its visitors with these most vibrant Thai cultural shows which would also give a chance to the holiday-makers in the country to get a glimpse of this rich cultural heritage. Some of the Thai cultural shows that a traveller should not miss out are Siam Niramit, Thai Classical Dance Drama, Thai Mask Dance, Thai Village Shows, ancient sword fights and Thai Puppet Shows.

Siam Niramit is a traditional Thai performance presented with the participation of more than 150 traditional performers on a huge stage along with many sound and lighting effects. There are 500 numerous colourful costumes being used during these shows. Siam Niramit is a magnificent opportunity for anyone who is visiting this great enchanted kingdom to get a glimpse of its world-class cultural performance. This breathtaking performance has now even managed to sail into the lists in the Guinness World Records!

Thai Puppetry is another must experienced cultural performance when you are visiting Bangkok. It has been a part of Thai cultural heritage for many long years. “Hung Luang” is the name of the very first puppet performance and it is also widely known as Royal Puppetry. Puppet shows in Thailand were originally performed as a Royal show during functions of the King of Ayutthaya. Thai puppetry evolved throughout many years and there are various other categories such as stick puppets, small puppets and so on. Aksra theatre is one of the popular places where you can head down to enjoy an exquisite puppet show.

One of the finest cultural shows one can experience in Thailand is Thai Mask Dance Drama. In these traditional dance acts, performers need to wear masks and each of these mask represents a specific character in the story. These cultural shows are regarded as both dance and drama, as none of the actors speak but give away their message through dance movements, expressions and mime. These mask dances are colourful and vibrant performances and a visit to one of these shows will give an unforgettable experience.

To experience most of these cultural aspects of this great nation, travellers need to find their comfortable Bangkok resort within the vicinity of the city’s popular entertainment venues. Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa is popularly known as one of the finest 5 star hotels in Bangkok that is centrally located amidst many attractive shopping, dining and entertainment venues.
