Bangkok's Joe Louis Puppet Theater, also known as “Nattayasala Hun Lakorn Lek,” was once one of the city's top attractions.
Founded in 2002 by the late master of puppets Sakorn Yangkhieosod, whose English name was Joe Louis, it showcased the remarkable Thai traditional art of puppetry.
Sadly, the curtain dropped permanently for the show in 2010, when its contract with the now demolished Suan Lum Night Bazaar expired.
Many thought that was the end of the historic Bangkok attraction. But now it's been confirmed that the Joe Louis puppets will dance again at Asiatique, a new waterfront dining, shopping and entertainment complex on Charoen Krung Road.
According to officials, the new theater will open in June.
