|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| An evening of razzle-dazzle and outrageous frocks at the Calypso Cabaret. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Duration of tour: 1 hr | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The transvestite cabaret show has been a fixture on the entertainment scene in Bangkok for several years. Calypso has been razzle-dazzling since 1987 and remains a favourite, with changing routines to keep things fresh. Whilst the show changes from time to time, there is a basic formula that guarantees there will be traditional songs included in Chinese, Japanese and Korean, some high-camp western ballads, a little Thai culture and anything that demands feather boas and over-the-top outfits a la Carmen Miranda. Kaleidoscopic colours and glamour emanate from the stage, whilst the humour and cheekiness is never offensive. The performance is suitable and entertaining for all ages. Entrance includes a soft drink. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Entrance to Calypso Cabaret with a coupon for one soft drink. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Joe Louis Traditional Thai Puppet Theatre....Top page TOUR CODE: BKK1DJOEP |
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Be enamoured at a night out at the Joe Louis Traditional Thai Puppet Theatre. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Duration of tour: 1 hr 10 mins | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hun Lakorn Lek is the disappearing art of traditional Thai puppetry. The basis of the theatrical show is 'Khon', the classic courtly Thai masked dance, that draws on episodes from the epic Ramayana for inspiration. Several forms of artistic expression are involved to make Hun Lakorn Lek come to life - crafting of the puppets, the masks and costumes, music, the backdrop and not least the art of the puppeteer. Although the puppets are not large, the true skill comes in the manipulation of its movements that requires three puppeteers per one model acting in unison - a skill that takes several years to perfect. This allows the puppets to appear so life-like, charming and graceful, as though they were miniature human performers. For those arriving by 19:00 it is possible to see a 20 minute documentary presentation about the history and making of the Joe Louis puppet troupe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Includes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Entrance to the Joe Louis Traditional Thai Puppet Theatre show. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please note: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Joe Louis Traditional Thai Puppet Theatre is located in the Suan Lum Night Bazaar. This can easily be reached by BTS underground train, alighting at Lumphini station and following the signs to the Night Bazaar. Your hotel reception or concierge can also write directions in Thai for taxi drivers. You can take advantage of this location to combine your visit to the show with souvenir shopping in the large Night Bazaar, that also offers a selection of restaurants and a beer garden featuring Thai and international snack foods. |

Some of the buildings represent traditional Thai themes, whilst others have distinct European features. Within the palace grounds one can find the temple commonly called Wat Phra Kaew, which houses the small but holy figure of the Emerald Buddha (actually fashioned from a type of jadeite).
