Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre in Bangkok
About
The Sala Chalermkrung Royal Theatre in Bangkok has been a cultural gem since July 2, 1933.

Conveniently kid-friendly and accepting credit card payments, the theatre boasts good production quality and live music accompaniment for its classical and village dances.

Just great! And the musicians fantastic, they even played with the public at the end.

The performance was so well done. Absolutely beautiful. Very fun event for all ages. Amazing talent in the the music and acting alike!

We went to a performance at the Royal theatre that was part of our Grand Royal Palace ticket price, I had no clue so it was a pleasant surprise. Got shuttled over and we were able to watch a free 30 minute play on a folklore tale of Rama I and it was pretty good. I didn't give it a 5 because it was part of our ticket price for another venue so I can't properly assess the value for someone coming in to just view the show, and the theatre concierges really didn't do a good job of ushering people. Literally had swathes of people sitting on the stairwell, the only stairwell to walk into the theatre and it was quite dangerous as I saw an old lady trip over tourists being selfish. Thank goodness someone caught her. Seating is comfortable for the show length. No great amenities inside but a cool experience nonetheless.
