Nang Talung


Nang Su Thip Comedy movie scenes 6 Episode 5

Nang Talung”, a popular shadow play found mainly in the south of Thailand, closely resembles the Indonesian wayang. Beautifully fashioned nang talung figures are smaller than nang yai counterparts and are often constructed to have one movable part – an arm, a leg, a chin or genitals.

Concealed from audiences, nang talung manipulators are skilled singers and comedians whose brilliants repartee keeps action bubbling.

Reference : Thailand into the 80’s
