Phuket FantaSea, Phuket

I don't think anyone agrees with punishment on humans? Have I right? Did you know how they teach animals like elephants and tigers to do all those "fabulous" tricks? With punishment! They hit them with hocks till they're doing it "right". Can you call that amazing? That's hell, or worse. I don't understand you (those st*pid girls) who say they cannot wait till they will come back. I don't think they like to be beaten. If you want to see tigers, go to a nice zoo where they live the closest to their own natural environment. Spend the money on something else. Thank you, and boycott this "fabulous" show, fantasea - hell for animals.

Felt nauseous during the whole show at tacky and noisy Broadway-ised display of Thai "culture" -- this is NOT culture. To get to the show one is forced to wade through an appalling arcade of money-grubbing stalls reminiscent of U.K. seasides. The architecture was a dreadful panache of murky ancient kingdom meets murkier elephant pen. Magic tricks dumb, jokes dumber. Watch out for running chickens and birds pooping from overhead during torturous 90-minute show - ever hear of bird flu, management?

Just back from Disneyland and seen Universal years ago, but Fantasea beats any theatre type production there. Started off a bit slow, but the rest was first class.

Nice enough city with historical and cultural sights but the political situation is just too chaotic. I would give this country a miss for a couple of years.

I went Pukhet last week.Its beautifull specially Phuket Fantansia is excellent out class entertainment. The cultural show, food, buffet, elephants, dances, magic,games,specially shooting :,people,rain,decor..... and much more which i can't describe but i can remember in my memories. It was wonderfull evening with lots of activities of enjoyment. so everyone who is going there don't miss it.

The performance fell short of my expectations. Maybe I am a traditionalist but the lights and smoke seemed to cheapen the cultural value of the show. FantaSea isn't the greatest show in Asia not even in Thailand. The environment is beautiful and like any theme park there are plenty of excellent opportunities for photos and for souvenirs. The exterior of the dining center and performance center are quite beautiful. However, the buffet meal didn't do justice to the variety and flavor of Thai cuisine. The performance was overhelmed by the lights and smoke. There was no apparent storyline and at times the show felt more like a Chinese circus act or a Hollywood blunder than an example of Thai culture and history.

Well ! we had a nice and pleasant time when we visited this park lately. Staffs are well trained together with their friendliness. They are very helpful and efficient with dealing with guests. Buffet line was incredible, they were so many dishes that we could not even taste all of them. Plenty of game for kids during waiting for the show. The park was quite large and the show was fantastic. we could not believe that this show was created by the local Thai Creator.Castings are from local only, and they did a very good job on the show. The theater itself was really stunning when we looked at it. If we return again to Thailand , we will definetely go back there again. We really recommend to anybody who plan to visit Thailand and Phuket to go there.

The way this place makes money is 3 fold, first you have to walk through a long line of shops before getting to the resturant/show building. second they give you too much time to eat, enought time to shop. and finally they make the food WAY TOO SPICY! and then sell you drinks at 4 times the market value. I recomend only the show. It is all dancing and very few lines of dialog. Sort of boring if you ask me but I'm not into the big stage productions. Only a few scenes with elephants. The other cool thing about this place was the buildings were big and detailed. They have a Elephant palace. That makes it look like Elephants are Gods in Thailand.

I didnt buy the DVD and regret it! Im a teacher and have to do a multicultural day and wanted to show my students the fantasea dvd. can anyone help where i can buy it?
