Pescator Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Lakorn is a classical thai dance drama. Quote: "There are several forms of it. Lakorn Nai is the more formal version. You could see it performed if you ever went to see the Ramakian. All text is sung. Lakorn Nork is about folk tales and features a mix of sung and spoken text. Lakorn Phuut is the equivalent of western theatre based on the Greek model - all dialogue is spoken rather than sung. This is the most modern of Thailand`s theatre traditions as well as the most popular in cities and larger towns." Unquote Hua Nguu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted March 29, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 That's the answer TV series, I was looking at the lakorn mags on ethaicd.com and could not decide if they were music, or something to do with film or TV stars. -thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
