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

Simon 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.
