This review is quite a tricky one. For us, the transfers were on time, transport good and drivers friendly. On arrival, really didn’t know what to do but once you get your ticket then its pretty much self explanatory. We had the inclusive dinner, transfers and gold class seating for the show. Dinner itself was quite nice. The show was ok. Don’t think there was any need to purchase gold seats, it only puts you slightly more to the front but means you are last in the queue to collect your phones on the way out. I think shows these days are past needing to use animals, especially the way elephants are trained behind the scenes but overall it was an experience but probably overpriced for what you get. Perhaps families with children might get more out of it and the park itself but not really sure what they tried to create when designing the “theme” park. Didn’t regret we did it but wouldn’t go again.

Fantasea is an incredible show that immerses you in Thai culture and mythology. The attention to detail is phenomenal, and the performers are both talented and entertaining. The special effects and technology used in the show are mind-blowing. The elephants, goats and chickens were also very clever, trainers have done an amazing job. The entire experience is unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket.

The show is truly worth it. Go for the upgrade to guarantee a good spot to sit in. Now for the food I wouldn’t get the buffet ticket as it was not worth it. Barely any variety (4-5 dishes in each section) and the sweets were inedible. Rather I would suggest you eat first then go to the show (it starts at 9pm). Both my husband and I left hungry.

We recently attended this show and absolutely loved it. We weren't sure what to expect but it is just like a theme park with a magnificent buffet dinner before the show and the the opportunity to experience the park prior to the show starting at 9pm. The show itself was amazing and well worth going to see. Would highly recommend it.

We have been at Fantasea several times over the years and the food quality has greatly improved, it was delicious the last time we eat in there. The show was amazing, the premises mesmerizing and the people working in it couldn't be friendlier. Fantasea is a MUST if you ever visit Phuket. We brought friends and their families and they were very impressed.

Pros: Amazing atmosphere! The buffet room was out of this world. Food was delicious! Well organised and despite having hundreds and hundreds of people, we exit the venue really quickly. Cheap night out. Cons: not sure about having people line up and pay for to feed baby cub tigers. You have to hand in your phone because NO CAMERAS. But only after they warn you that if they give it to someone else that they’re not responsible for it. However, that process is very carefully done and organised. The show was theatrical but couldn’t follow it really. It’s good to go don’t get me wrong you’ll be amazed at it. It’s something to do while there. I’d give it a 7/10.

This is not my first visit. I'm attracted by their indoor stage performance, big, grand and magical. They performed with animals, pyrotechnic, laser lights etc. Very beautiful and elaborated costume and impressive props. The seat was comfortable but not as spacious as Siam Niramit. Sound system was good. The shortfall was the buffet spread and outdoor activities. The buffet spread was very limited, as if eating economic rice. You will NOT be spoilt with choices and it is not worth it. Siam Niramit is 100% better. Outdoor activities was quite limited. With exception of game booths and mini stage dance, the rest are just souvenir shops and gems shop. Outdoor activities can be covered within an hour, leaving you idle to wait to enter the hall. Recommend to visit Fantasea but don't add-in the buffet dinner.

For what it is, it is too pricey. I am unable to state that it is excellent or bad. If you have young children, it is a positive thing. I like taking photographs. There are many options in the fairly large restaurant, however the food is chilly. Lovely and plentiful personnel. After eating, you must wait until the concert (8U30 doors open), but there is nothing to do in the interim. stores, lots and plenty of stores. The performance is brand-new and consists of a carnival procession; it is a bit monotonous, and the music is the same throughout. To prevent taking photos, you must put your phone in a locker.

Watched this show 12 years ago by myself, this time I brought my two kids to see the show as it combines Thai culture and fancy motions in it. We enjoyed it still but one thing: since our civilisation is always moving forward, please consider not to use elephant in the show, people have more and more awareness regarding animal wellbeing specially younger generations. Therefore I hope you can consider not to use elephant in the show, otherwise there'll be less and less international views and may trigger chaos in the future. Please have a look at "War Horse" show, two they can make a fake horse so real, if you can do the same thing to replace the real elephant it can be a big selling point thus to attract more viewers and people like me to revisit.

Pros: overall we enjoyed the show although we didn’t follow the storyline very well. Staff were friendly and were happy for us to feed and interact with the elephants that were used for rides outside the theatre. The buffet was good and well organised - plenty of variety. Cons: People are given 40 mins to get into the theatre and be seated before the show however we had a very large group who came in 15-20 mins after the show had started. They were loud, talking and standing up in front of us trying to find their seats. We found this extremely rude and disrespectful to those who arrived on time and who were trying to watch the show. Our recommendation would be that those who arrive after the show has started should be seated at the back or need to wait until a break in the show. Also agree with other reviews re: the opportunity to have a photo with the baby tigers - we found this unsettling and purely a money making opportunity and the treatment of the tigers by the handlers did not seem overly positive.
