Siam Nirmit is one of the famous and popular shows in Bangkok and Thailand. During the show, you can visit the different parts of Thailand without getting up from your chair, get to know the history of the kingdom, understand the local religion and enjoy the spectacular folklore - all this in a specially invested production that combines pyrotechnics, stunts, various visual means, complex choreography and the talent of many actors and dancers.
The show itself is nothing less than virtuoso and it does not fall short of the most advanced western productions. On the stage you can see 150 participants who change during the show no less than 500 costumes and also several elephants. The setting also changes and each set is more impressive than the previous one. An artificial river flows on the stage and some of the effects include thunderstorms and rain - everything is very realistic and includes the use of very advanced technologies.
The journey will take you to get to know the Buddhist culture and to tour the four regions of Thailand: Northern Thailand, the Isan region, ancient Siam and central Thailand. Each is characterized by a different culture, a different history and also a different nature.
Siam Nirmit is not only a journey across Thailand, but also a journey through time. It describes the local culture and its development over 700 years. You will see on stage a rice harvest, sword fights and clips from the life of the royal family. You will watch the Buddhist hell and its torments, where alcoholics are forced to drink boiling water and liars have their tongues torn out. In the glimpse you will get into the Buddhist paradise, you will see angels dancing in a dreamy atmosphere.
