reviews My opinion: starstarstar

Note that the puppet shows are no longer given at the Artist House but at Wat Kamphaeng Bangchak which is located in the parking lot of the Khlong Bang Luang Floating Market. And the performances only take place on weekends, always at 2 p.m.

Located at Khlong Bang Luang Floating Market, this century-old teak house is home to a cafe but is best known for its puppet shows given daily at 2pm. Baan Silapin, its name in Thai, was created in 2010 by the Thai artist and environmentalist Chumphon Akhpantanond. Each representation begins with a tribute to its founder.

Some boat tours on the klongs, the Bangkok canals, stop at the Artist's House for the show. For isntance, there is a boat tour from Taling Chan Floating Market on Saturday and Sunday that stops here.
