Thai Village

Enjoyed an evening of cultural programme and witnessed the dance forms of Thailand. They created a Thai village.Though there was shopping the focus was more on culture. First there was an open aired performance and they involved the tourists in a big way and asked them to participate. After this there was a cultural programme in a theatre which is on the Guineesse Book of World Record for the biggest and largest theatre in the world. Unfortunately pictures were not allowed but the show showcased the History of Thailand from the beginning. There was a river flowing on stage, traders came, festivals celebrated and hundreds of artists danced to beautiful backgrounds of jungles, seas, palaces, ships, temples and many others. . An amazing show that could compare to the Cirque Du Soleil  of Las Vegas. I kept wondering why we do not have such kind of tourist attraction in India. We have our Shipa Rama in Hyderabad but that is more aloof and hardly any tourists and the focus is more on selling rather than showcasing the culture. A great evening.
