Phuket nightlife
and entertainment, Phuket travel,
Thailand
Visitors to this
island paradise may be more than satisfied
by Phuket's remarkable natural beauty,
but those in search of further stimulation
can be sure to find something among
the many activities and entertainment
available to fill every moment of
their holidays.
Not only do most
of the major hotels and resorts offer
a wide selection of quality international
restaurants and bars, featuring cabaret
shows and live music, but every tourist
centre has numerous other entertainment
venues. Patong is undoubtedly the
epicentre of the island's entertainment
scene, boasting a wealth of bars,
clubs, live music, and cabaret shows,
yet there is still plenty the discover
around the island, with Kata/Karon
and Phuket town offering such a diverse
range of clubs and nightspots that
its difficult to know where to start.
Yet, it is not all
after-dark diversions. If a little
time away from the beach appeals during
the day, then there are plenty spots
offering other kinds of enlightenment,
including cultural shows, orchid gardens,
butterfly sanctuaries, a pearl farm,
zoo, and seashell museum. In fact,
with so much to see and do, both day
and night, Phuket is guaranteed to
keep you entertained

Cabaret
 There's
not a diva in the West who can
compare, and many a catwalk
model has turned green with
envy at the sight of the lady-boy
performers of Simon Cabaret.
This hugely popular tourist
attraction, on the hill just
outside Patong, has been wowing
audiences for years with its
exotic, hilarious, often risqu?,
transvestite cabaret. With sets
and choreography that would
do Broadway justice, and gowns
dripping with diamante, the
boys who are girls stiletto-strut
their stuff to full houses each
night at 7.30pm and 9.30pm.
Thai Culture Show
 Offering
visitors an opportunity to experience
remarkable recreations of historical
and cultural aspects of Southern
Thai life, the Thai Culture
Show, on Thepkrassatri Road,
has made enormous efforts to
recreate the life and ambience
of a typical rural village of
the past. Home to 500 workers
and performers, who bring new
meaning to term "living
in the past", the show
brings to life ancient rites
and rituals, enacts classical
Thai dances and offers displays
of Thai boxing and swordsmanship.
Phuket Fantasea
 The
very biggest of all Phuket's
extravaganzas, Fantasea brings
Hollywood-sized, Las Vegas-style
entertainment to the island.
Remarkable acrobatics, dazzling
light work, stunning set design
and a host of animal action
combine in a song and dance
spectacular that brings to life
tales of history and mythology
that will leave visitors in
no doubt that Phuket was at
least as, if not more, exciting
way back when.
Set upon 140 acres in Kamala
Bay, this unique cultural theme
park houses an immense theatre,
a festival village offering
carnivals, games and handicrafts,
and reportedly the world's largest
buffet of Thai and international
cuisine.
Dino Park Mini Golf
 The
only chance you will ever get
to play eighteen holes around
T. Rex and his pals. Karon's
Dino-Park offers an excellent,
semi-educational, wholly fun,
hour or two of diversion that
will excite both kids and adults
alike. A rumbling volcano and
giant re-creations of dinosaurs
are scattered around the mini-golf
park, making for some interesting
hazards. After your game, stop
off at the park's own version
of the nineteenth hole, the
Dino-Bar, for a pterodactyl
burger. |
