Experience Thai Culture Under the Stars
Join us at the 17th-century Wat Chaiwatthanaram in Ayutthaya for a stunning display of traditional Thai masked dance, the khon, on the evenings of March 9 and 10.
This event blends two of Thailand’s UNESCO-praised wonders: the captivating khon dance and the historic Ayutthaya setting, for a celebration of the nation's heritage. The Ministry of Culture's “Ayutthaya Sundown 2024” offers this glimpse into the artistic legacy beneath the night sky.
Recognized by UNESCO in 2018, khon combines multiple art forms to tell the epic tales of Rama with mesmerizing dance and elaborate costumes. Wat Chaiwatthanaram, built by King Prasat Thong in 1630 and a star location in the Thai drama “Love Destiny,” provides the perfect setting.
Visitors flock to this riverside temple, not just for its history, but for an immersive experience of the architecture and traditional Thai garments. With the sunset, the ambiance turns enchanting, ideal for absorbing Thai culture.
This celebration merges two UNESCO-appreciated symbols of global heritage, creating an unforgettable bond between history and the present, and highlighting the richness of Thailand's cultural fabric.
The “Sat Cha Phali” ensemble tells the story of Phali, a verdant, flirtatious monkey king, and his adventures from the Ramayana. With performances starting at 5:30 PM. on both dates, seating is limited.
Admission is complimentary, with a nominal 10 THB fee to support the preservation of this historic site. Don't miss this enthralling cultural journey—it's a narrative and visual delight that awaits you.
