Spiritual Performances
Thailand’s performing arts, whether they be music, dance, or drama, are
the expressions of valuable culture filled with the grace of Thai wisdom. Each
of the performing arts aims to serve the purpose of beauty and entertainment
which may encourage critical thinking that leads to social change and
development. At the same time, performing arts express emotions, feelings
and ways of life of each locality as well, such as the Nora dance in the
Southern Thailand, Li-kae and Lakhon Chatri in Central Thailand, Mo Lam in
the Northeastern Thailand and Phin Pia in the Northern Thailand.
