   Cherry Theatre would like to invite the children to come and join the new way to experience the world of adventure. Why spend your time on the screen when you can be a part of our field trip? Embark on this community-based arts and culture education—the performative journey to the adventureland full of fun and excitement!

Through the theatre game, you’ll be assigned as a “detective of Baan Krua'' destined to complete a series of missions including solving a puzzle from the hidden figures of an ancient house. The historical canal passage will take you back in time to learn the story of “Chams Volunteers Defense Team” (the ancestors of Baan Krua community), tracing the bullet holes and history of World War II, and discovering for yourself the mysterious disappearance of Jim Thomson, the King of Thai Silk, who has a close connection with weaving and weavers in the community.

    Most importantly, you’ll get to discover tasty dishes’ secret recipes, enjoy chicken satay with special dipping sauce whose recipe has been inherited for over a hundred years, and entice yourself with the sweet treats you will never find anywhere but here at Baan Krua.
