Once on the brink of obscurity, this UNESCO-recognised masked masterpiece was saved by a royal revival initiative. Today, the 'All About Khon' sanctuary in Ayutthaya safeguards the secrets of the craft—where performers carry 10kg of living art, and centuries-old stagecraft meets modern preservation.

Opening hours: Wednesday to Sunday, 09:30–16:00 (last ticket sales 15:30). Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
