Wow! Awesome post about Puppet theatre shows in Thailand. Puppetry in Asia is indeed booming. You might wanna check out Indonesia as well. And of course, the Philippines! :)

Come to think of it… Talen mentioned that they are also performing in Pataya. I googled and looks like they’ve already closed…

Mary Ann, I read that the theatre is closed (their last performance was months ago) but I don’t know if it’s been torn down yet. They’ve been threatening to close Suan Lum Night Market ever since I moved to Thailand, so who knows when they’ll finally get around to it.

Their website states that they also perform at King Power (by Victory Monument). But I don’t know for sure.

Yes, they have closed down. I think about two months back I read that some of the artists now do shows in a restaurant (?) in Phuket, because they got an offer from there.

I heard that the Theater at the Suan Lum Night Market has been torn down. Do you know anything about that? If it’s true, have they relocated?

I too absolutely loved the Naga. It was creatively done and showed what a talented cast they had. It also had me wanting more! And I SO know that there’s more… :-)

But Michael Jackson in a traditional Thai puppet show? No thanks.

Perhaps they could create two shows. One with a foreign flavour, and one with the traditional Thai dancers.
