History ''Hun la korn lek'' has been a form of entertainment for the Thai people and foreigners alike for more than a century. It was invented by Kru Krae Suppawanich in 1901 during the reign of King Mongkut (King Rama IV).

He passed 30 of his puppets onto his daughter-in-law, and the rest of his puppets were "drowned" in the Chao Phraya Rive ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
