Bang Pho isn't the first neighbourhood you'd think of for theatre, which is part of what makes T. Namcharoen Playhouse worth the trip. The place used to be a sawmill and stood for decades before someone turned it over to Bangkok's small-theatre scene. The old timber warehouse takes to the job with barely any change, its high ceiling, open floor and lack of central columns already the shape of a black box theatre. The whole site covers more than 2,400 square metres, and now serves as a space for performers and other creatives. At its heart is a main theatre seating around 200 to 220, along with a multi-purpose room for workshops or smaller shows, an outdoor stage and a few side rooms set aside for meetings, artists staying over or whatever comes next.
