Can I use a mobile ticket or e-voucher at the theatre?

No. The Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre does not accept electronic tickets or vouchers. You must present the official physical ticket — either collected from the supplier's office at the theatre or delivered to your hotel.

How does the hotel delivery option work?

After booking, your tickets and programme information are sent directly to your hotel. Collect them from the receptionist before heading to the theatre. Make sure you provide the exact hotel name and street address when you book.

Can I bring a camera into the show?

Yes, but a camera ticket is required. You can purchase one at the check-in counter for USD 2 per camera.

Is the show suitable for children?

Water puppetry is a visual, music-led performance with no language barrier, making it engaging for visitors of all ages including children.

What language is the performance in?

The show is performed in Vietnamese, but the storytelling is largely visual — the action on the water, the live traditional music, and the narration are all easy to follow without understanding the language.
