Beach Bumming in Phuket - Part II

Friends have recommended that we go for the Phuket Fantasea Show. I was lucky again as I managed to get discounted tickets for the show. After "charming" the local tour agent on Bangla Road, I managed to get two tickets for TBH2,800. It was for both the dinner and show after that.

We didn't have time to go back to our hotel to change. The pick up for the show was in 10 minutes. While waiting, we walked along this infamous Bangla Road. The pubs were already opened and some of them were filled with Mat Sallehs. Some of these Mat Sallehs had local girls as their company...some young while some are "seasoned". It's a real wonder that how the Westerners go for the Asian girls...could it be the natural beauty??? Or could it be the "extra" services that they provide???

I was glad we didn't have to wait long for our pick up. The ride to Phuket Fantasea took almost 45 minutes. When we arrived there were already people queing to purchase tickets. Our driver showed me where to que for the tickets. I didn't have to que long however. In about 10 minutes I got our tickets.

We strolled around the complex. The park had an interesting facade which provides a unique experience. Visitors can also buy quality local products from shops offering silk, leather, handicrafts, ceramic, jewelry and souvenirs.

We had our dinner first and then went to watch the show. The show, somewhat similar to a Las Vegas-style theatrical production had some stunning show themes on Thai culture, magical illusions, 4-dimensional effects, aerial performance, acrobatics, indoor pyrotechnics and special effects and even the elephants performed on stage. The show for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and it was definately a show to remember.
