A Spellbinding Night at Phuket Fantasea Show

As night gradually rolls in along with the tides on the beach, the snorkelers pack up their goggles, sunbathers fold up their towels, and the rest of the beach folk brushes sand off their feet to head off to somewhere else for the night. With so many nightlife activities at Phuket, you should seriously consider going to Kamala Beach to watch the No. 1 Voted Phuket Fantasea Show.

Phuket Fantasea Show promises an ultimate night of theme park entertainment and an unforgettable extravaganza. If you are someone who loves to be pampered and wowed by fabulous dances, elaborate costumes, over-the-top sparkling stage structure, this is it. The Phuket Fantasea Show is not merely a dance performance with beautiful choreography; it carries a storyline intertwined with the exotic, mystical culture of Thailand.

As you are seated among the thousand other spectators, the Phuket Fantasea Show begins on the dot at 9 p.m. Ornately adorned in blazing colours, the dancers and acrobats carry you into a magical excitement-filled adventure. As the story unfolds, you’ll be entranced into the deeply cultured history of Thailand across the various regions from East, South North, and West. Listen to the exotic song singing out to you in a foreign language, feel the emotions running through the story, and join the burst of laughter with the occasional comedy.

Majestic giant elephants to welcome you

Do not fear even if you’re seated at the back or in a corner. The performers utilize every space in the majestic theatre hall beside the highly structured stage. There’s jaw-dropping aerial presentation right above your head, gracefully dancing away in mid-air. There are magical illusions that puzzle you with light and dimensional effects, sophisticated pyrotechnics and special effects that will deem to show off to you in its full glory. It is a show going all out to mesmerize you into the enchanting magical mysteries of Thailand.

My favorite part of the show comes at the end where the animals join in and lead this mega production to its height. If you think elephants are clumsy big animals. Think again. These giant mammals on earth will show you otherwise. Besides the elephants, you’ll see other starlets such as roosters, doves, goats and even water buffaloes.

Cast production of Fantasea Show

The show entails a short 1 hour and 15 minutes. It is not a very long duration for a show, but I’ll bet it is money well-spent. The Phuket Fantasea Show starts from 1500 Baht (approximately RM 155.00). This price is not merely for the Phuket Fantasea Show, as the show only starts at 9 p.m. Before the show starts, you can enter this 1400 acres theme park when it opens its gates at 5.30 p.m. You can explore the Cultural village where you’ll find all sorts of things ranging from the mass produced souveniers to intricate handmade carvings of Thai symbols. If you do not fancy shopping, head on towards the many stalls with creative carnival games or catch a ride on the back of an elephant.

When your stomach starts grumbling, make a trip to the Golden Kinnaree Buffet Restaurant. It starts serving up to four thousand hungry tourists at 6.30 p.m. Do not forget to take a snapshot with the lavish exterior of the golden Thai style roof and mystical statue figures standing respectfully as you enter into the dining hall. The dining experience is one of its kinds. The dining hall itself simmers as brightly as the exterior in gold, silver coloured reflective mirrors; the bright lights further glorified the intricate design around the hall. The long buffet tables serve a myriad of scrumptious local Thai food and international food. The only outcome you can get from this meal is a lazy smile and a happy stomach.

One thing though, you can snap as many beautiful photos as you want at Phuket Fantasea Park, but you’ll have to leave behind your cameras, video cameras and all other recording devices behind at a check in counter when you enter the show. It’s done in an efficient manner and before you can complain about it, you’ll forget about it as you enter the show hall.

Wait no more to book your trip to Phuket to enjoy the sunshine, beach, water, and most of all, a magical night at Phuket Fantasea Show.
