Thai puppets, also known as "Hun Lakhon Lek," are traditional handcrafted puppets from Thailand that are used in traditional performances and storytelling. These puppets are typically made from materials like wood, fabric, and sometimes even clay. They are intricately designed and painted to represent characters from various Thai stories, epics, and dramas. Thai puppetry is a cultural art form that combines intricate craftsmanship, storytelling, music, and dance. Puppeteers manipulate the puppets with strings attached to various parts of the puppet's body, creating lifelike movements and gestures.
