khon

As I walked past fascinating displays of various, eclectic collections of different styles of Thai art at a museum, one of Thailand’s theatrical cultures that most captivated my interest was the art of Khon. “There was something about the intricate, glittery fabric and the powerful voice of both the narrator and the Thai-style music that drew my interest. Furthermore, every element of the art reflected the creativity and the rigorous hours that were put into curating each immaculate scene to illustrate the story of Ramakian.”
