  • 5/5 Songtham T. 2 years ago on Google • 75 reviews
    Beautiful, traditional, natural. Would come back. No fees, but donations accepted. Dog friendly but beware of the off leash temple dogs and monkeys. One suggestion is to put a glass panel over the artwork to preserve them better.

    Wow place and attractive. Nang Yai Shadow Puppet Drama at Wat Khanon Temple. That’s one of Thailand’s finest and most admired treasures, showing off many intrinsic values of Thai art. The beautiful and elaborate fretwork design of the puppets meticulously carved by master craftsmen. Can be manipulated to portray all kinds of mood and character as required by the storyline, verse and recitations, dialogue, chorus…The artistic feel create by Theas moods and movement allows the audience to gain a complete grasp of the storyline. Nice place to study Thai Art. Nang Yai Shadow Puppet Drama has been awarded UNESCO. Daily open from 08.00 a.m. to 17.50 p.m. Free entry

    There's no charge to enter the temple or the museum. This temple is located by the river. There's a flea market by the river where there are locals gathering and selling local products and food on the weekend.

    I was lucky enough to catch the 10am Saturday puppet performance. There was a market and tons of action going on at the temple. The museum of shadow puppets has many English descriptions. Totally worth a visit. 10/10 would take friends.

    There’s a performance at 10am on Saturday that is definitely worth seeing. The performance comprises of craftsmanship (stitching the characters), rehearsal and musical, traditional dancing, and storytelling. The complexity of all skills combined into a unique performance. The show is free of charge. There’s also a museum with interactive AR showing each characters in motion.

  • 5/5 Komson P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to enjoy Thai Buddhist temple in a nice way of local Thai nature. There are big & tall trees. Located on the bank of Mae Klong (prounounced as Glong) and I would love to spend a long morning / evening next to the river if I brought a comfortable chair with me. Of course, you would enjoy the classic Thai dance emphasizing old-time materials figuring Thai-classic-literal characters adopted from India -- the Ramayana. The temple also features the Great King Rama X. Ask what time you can admire the dance show -- I missed it.
