Baan Silapin

Here we make a visit to Khlong Bang Luang and stop at a 200-year-old house, called Baan Silapin (Artist’s House). The owners of Baan Silapin have opened the house to the general public and to the local children or to anyone interested in art to go along and join in the creativity, particularly students in pursuit expressing their passion for art and want to gain guidance from experts.

With lunch included at a local restaurant, the rest of the day is quite a special one. Not only will you meet one of the last traditional Khon Mask makers in the country, the legacy of legendary Thai Puppet Troupe ‘Kam Nai’ continues to thrive here. Not only will the audience watch this graceful performance, but also learn about Thai's way of live costumes, music and language. Different from other western or traditional Thai puppetry, Thai puppets are manipulated by 2 puppeteers simultaneously, known to bring life-like movements into play. Since the puppeteers themselves are an indispensable integral part of the performance the synchronous moves can only be derived from accomplished Thai classical dancers.

Scenes like these are what earned Bangkok the title of 'Venice of the East' are left behind as you walk back to the nearby Wat Kam Phaeng where your chauffeur waits for you to bring you back to your hotel.
