Aksra Theater

IMG_6691-001We had quite an evening! After spending the morning at the Grand Palace, we loaded up in the buses for another little field trip. This time we headed to Aksra Theater/Ramayana restaurant for a fantastic buffet and puppet show. I know what you’re thinking…puppets, how great…but you better rinse that sarcasm out of your mouth. The puppets were incredibly detailed and required 3 puppeteers each! The crew performed traditional Thai dances and battle dances and walked around the room pretending to kiss members of the audience. So cuuuuute!

Thai dancers featuring a puppeteer who's a total ham (pardon the low quality and all the screaming)!

It was a great evening to break up the orientation. We’ve got another full day of class tomorrow and half day on Thursday before we head to Kanchanaburi!!!
