Preserving the exquisite art of Thailand at Sala Chalermkrung, located at the intersection of Charoen Krung Road and Triphet Road, this royal theater has stood the test of time in Phra Nakhon for over 80 years. Originally, Sala Chalermkrung showcased imported films, but as the times changed and modern cinemas emerged, this historic venue underwent renovations to transform it into the National Theater, dedicated to presenting "Khon," the traditional Thai dance that is increasingly rare to witness. Khon is an art form that beautifully blends various disciplines of Thai culture, and one of its most acclaimed performances is "Hanuman Chao Khamhaeng," directed by national artist Suphachai Chansuwan. The performance is accompanied by the Rohitachala ensemble, delivering a stunningly elegant portrayal that adheres to traditional storytelling methods through dialogues and ancient musical interludes. The costumes, crafted specifically for this occasion, showcase intricate designs that reflect time-honored customs. The Khon performances at Sala Chalermkrung rotate themes and actor troupes throughout different sessions, making each experience unique and unmissable. The venue is located at 66 Sala Chalermkrung, Charoen Krung Road, Bangkok 10200.
