Nang Yai Shadow Play at Wat Khanon

Nang Yai Shadow puppetry is among one of these oldest forms of theatrical arts performed in Thailand. Shadow play can be traced back to the time of Ayutthaya in the mid 1300's.

 

In 2007, Wat Khanon Nang Yai received an UNESCO award for its active role in safeguarding what the UN terms "intangible cultural heritage".
