I recommend you attend a Shadow Puppet show at La Noria Restuarant. Shows are on Wednesdays at 1930hrs at a cost of $12 including a meal. The shows are given by street children trained by Krousar Thmey. They operate the puppets and provide the voices for the characters. Programmes include folk tales and extracts from the Ramayana. Your enjoyment will be enhanced if you can go along with a local who can guide you through the nuances of the plot.

An interesting daytime visit is to the workshop where you can see the children making the puppets and meet the puppet master. You can buy a puppet of your favourite character which makes an unusual souvenir. Unfortunately the belligerent Water Buffaloes are very popular and supplies had run out when I visited.
