Khon is the most stylised form of Thai dance. It is performed by troupes of non-speaking dancers, the story being told by a chorus at the side of the stage. Choreography follows traditional models rather than attempting to innovate.

Most khon performances feature episodes from the Ramakien. Costumes are dictated by tradition, with demons wearing colored masks.
