A wondrous tale: the naga conquers the demon in the new hi-tech show at Tribhum Phuket

It will kick off at the Anodard Extreme Theatre on December 26 and will be staged 4 times a day at 1pm, 2.30pm, 5pm, and 6.30pm.

"The Mechanism Thai Art: Naga Conquers Demon aims to pass on the heritage of Thai art and culture in a contemporary way through an inspiring story taken from a traditional folk tale and re-designed to entertain the audience by sparking their imagination," said Wiwat Eurvongvaranont, vice president of Attraction, Property Management at Central Pattana (CPN) and director of Tribhum Theme Park.

"This upcoming new live-show portrays how angels and animals of the Himmapan forest fight to protect the Amarit (holy water) from the Demon, yet they are unable to tackle him. When one of deities joins the blessing ceremony of the Amarit at Krailas Mountain, the Naga is called upon to conquer the Demon. The audience will marvel at the live show created with contemporary Thai art, fusing multimedia elements and a stunning light and sound show delivered with advanced world-class techniques. Large robotic puppets are featured using projection mapping that radiates onto a gigantic mountain. It's not only entertaining, but the show also inspires the audience with its philosophy, showing how good definitely conquers evil," he added.

"Tribhum: The Mystical Three Worlds" has been open for nine months and Wiwat says it has been warmly welcomed by both Thai and foreign tourists. "A global destination that is different from other attractions, the Tribhum suits tourists of all genders, ages and lifestyles. Everyone can experience and enjoy their time here together. There are photospots for visitors that feature astonishing day and night landscapes. We have continued to develop new attractions by focusing on branding the Tribhum characters. Our use of technology on our online platform underlines the Tribhum as the world-class man-made attraction landmark that tourists can't miss."
