After the visit to the temple we bought tickets to the ballet then walked through the night market until time to go to the theater.
The night market occupies the entire main street for five blocks. All kinds of handicrafts and souvenirs for sale and tourists from around the world to buy.
Time for the ballet so we went to the theater and found our seats in the front row of the middle priced section. Pretty good seats for 120,000 Kip ($15).
This ballet tells a story a kidnapped princess, efforts to free and return her to her family and various battles along the way. Tonight's episode three of four depicts the battle of the army of the monkeys and other battles.
The orchestra.
The battle of the monkey king.
Introduction by female dancer-singers.
It was a big change to go from touring hill villages to watching the ballet in air conditioned comfort.
