Overview
The Traditional Thai Puppet show was one of the most popular shows in Bangkok until 2010, the performance was ended due to the shutdown of Lumpini Night Bazaar. Since then, they have moved to the small houses near by the canal in Thonburi and formed themselves as the Artist Village and begin the show again. The show is now a lot more simple as it no longer targets the mass tourist. The artists’ houses are kept as original as the houses near the canal are
We are going to visit the Artist House, watch the show, visit temples and learn the history and neighbor’s stories.

Had a wonderful time on the Urban hike - seeing places I would have never gone on my own. Also enjoyed the tasty treats provided. Listened to interesting stories and learned more history. I highly recommend it. Bow is super helpful and quick to respond as well <3 I look forward to doing another one in the future!

I booked to go on the canoe tour of Thonburi and it was incredible. It surpassed all expectations. The organisation was fantastic and thorough and communications were smooth and easy. Khun Bow and Khun Sun were perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly and incredibly knowledgable about the area that we visited. I
ve been living in Thailand for 5 years and I learnt so much on this trip! I can, without reservation, recommend this tour. It was amazing and I will be booking more 🙂
