Lakhon is less formal and takes its themes from a range of Thai stories, mainly from Ramakien, folk tales and Jataka stories. Lakhon dance movements are more graceful, sensual and highly stylized. Actors (excepting monkeys, ogres, and other non-human,non-celestial beings) do not wear masks and dancers are usually female. Lakhon is subdivided into numerous variations, the major three being Lakhon Chatri, Lakhon Nok, and Lakhon Nai.
