A troupe of adolescent traditional Thai Khon dancers perform in front of the Silom Complex mall in Bangkok, Thailand on September 6, 2024. Khon dancers perform in a martial combat-styled choreography, often holding replica weapons, with some performers wearing full face masks as well as ornate headdresses. The Ramakien, an adaptation of the Indian Hindu epic Ramayana, is the source of many of the stories reenacted in Khon performances. Khon dance has been performed in Thailand since the Ayutthaya period. (Photo by Adryel Talamantes/ZUMA Press Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
