วันเกิดปีที่ 112 ของคุณลมุล ยมะคุปต์


In 1910, five-year-old Laman Yamakhup began learning the art of Thai dance. Her hobby developed into a lifetime passion for dance and theatre. Yamakhup not only mastered the lively and elegant movements of Thai dance, but also went on to study at the Royal Court Theatre at Petchaboon Palace. She also created the dance program at the College of Dramatic Arts in Bangkok.
 
Today we (Google) celebrate Yamakhup's contributions to classical Thai dance and the spirit of innovation she brought to it.
