BANGKOK THEATRE

Bangkok Theaters - Popular among tourists are the cultural shows staged by Thai restaurants, which are a good introduction to Thailand's highly-styled classical dance. Bangkok does not have regular offerings of plays, operas or concerts but performances are frequently staged by local and international artists. The Thailand Cultural Centre and Thailand's National Theater are the main venues. You may also want to go to a Kick Boxing or Martial Arts display.
