I entered the theatre thinking how I could prevent myself from falling asleep throughout yet another cultural performance. But from the start of the show till the end, I found no difficulty trying to keep myself awake. Siam Niramit is a musical performance. The first part of the performance depicts the 4 different regions of Thailand (very very colourful), the second is about the 3 different realms of life of the thai belief and the third is of joyous festivals celebrated in Thailand. I find it so weird how no one actually recommended me to watch this performance when I was in Bangkok last year. This musical performance is way way under publicized! Futhermore, I have never seen myself as someone who is interested in arts and culture but I strongly recommend all to watch this unique, spectacular, enchanting, very very colourful and lively performance (: I love it!
Buffet dinner

This is inclusive of a sumptuous buffet dinner and a free and easy tour around the (replicated) villages of the 4 different regions. The tour around the village displayed the lifestyle of the Thais in the past. We even got to ride on a boat and try local dishes. But of course something so spectacular comes with a price..

After the tour around the village, we made our way into the theatre. There are no pictures of the musical as we were not allowed to bring camera into the theatre.
