The Thai Ministry of Culture has held Ramayana performances to mark the 70th anniversary of Thai-Myanmar diplomatic relations.
The four act performance, which included epic battle scenes, took place in the three Myanmar cities of Yangon, Naypyidaw and Mandalay between June 19 and 23.
Minister of Culture Weera Rojpojanarat said that the Ramayana is a high form of art and performance that has been revered for many generations and has become a symbol of Thailand. He noted the three performances in Myanmar were all sold out and helped enhance relations between the two countries in all regards, including tourism and economics.
