But awareness must be enhanced until people in the nation become conscious of, recognize and accept this pride in the same direction across the country. Apart from presenting Khon for acknowledgement of the world, creating awareness of Thai people to accept knowledge of our own nation, meanwhile, is still very low. Moreover, the occupational promotion for people studying Khon to have a channel for earning a living with dignity and income is coupled with the creation of media space to accommodate more Khon-related activities.

From joining in royal Khon performance (behind the performance) for only 8-9 years, I could see that the beauty comes from dress, performances, training, intention, responsibility, resulting in admiration.
