PHRA PHIRAP Thai Khon Mask 🇹🇭

Phra Phirap (Thai version of Bhairava) is one of the avatars of Shiva God in Hindu mythology. He is the lord of dance and is respected as the teacher of all Thai classical dancers.

 

Thai-style masked dance drama is popular in Cambodia. The Cambodians have copied the story, costumes, and dance styles from Khon dance of Thailand and changed the name to Lkhon Khol.
