The National Theatre of Thailand stands beside the Chao Phraya River near the grand palace and the National Museum, opened in the 1960s as the country's official stage for traditional performing arts. It presents khon masked drama, lakhon dance and Thai classical music, preserving repertoire tied to the royal court and the Ramakien epic. The auditorium hosts regular public performances, including monthly programmes that make the art accessible to visitors.
