Carnival Magic

A fairy tale come to life: a huge theme park with a breathtaking show and vibrant locations. If only three words were needed to describe Carnival Magic, they would be “grand,” “modern,” and “high-tech.”

The park spans 16 hectares, divided into themed zones: a fair with souvenir shops and game pavilions, a stall with the world’s largest popcorn machine, carousels, and playgrounds. On the carnival street, it’s always a celebration: street parades with performers in colorful costumes and giant puppets create an atmosphere of real magic.

The climax is the main show, announced over the loudspeakers to invite guests. Filming is not allowed, but believe us – it will leave you speechless: an entire parade of giant figures, performers, special effects, and projections. There’s no spoken language in the show, which makes it universally understandable for all visitors.

And after the show, the Kingdom of Lights comes alive – an entire park of magical lights, illuminations, and neon. Even several hours won’t be enough to see it all. But it’s absolutely worth experiencing with your own eyes! For now, enjoy this short video through ours.

For those who want to dine on-site, there is the Bird of Paradise restaurant for 3,000 guests – a buffet with Thai cuisine and dishes for children.

The largest cultural theme park in Phuket with a unique show, entertainment, and gastronomy. Here, the history and folklore of Thailand come to life – acrobatics, special effects, and even real elephants!

The main highlight is the show: “Fantasy of a Kingdom”, “Legend of Kamala”, and “Palace of the Elephants Theatre”. The performance impresses with its staging that combines Thai mythology, acrobatics, special effects, and even live elephants. The scale is truly grand!

Before the show begins, be sure to stroll through the magnificent park and the craft street, where orchids are made from soap and paintings are carved from buffalo hide. We’ve already been to FantaSea – watch the video.

Further into the jungle, you can see a terrarium with reptiles and some animals. In addition, the park offers many more attractions for both children and adults.

Tickets with dinner include exotic dishes of national cuisine in a restaurant that seats 4,000 people.

An immersive show with 100 scenes, over 500 costumes, and attention to every detail. Siam Niramit is a dazzling theatrical journey through the history and culture of Thailand – everyday life, music, dance, and religious beliefs.

This performance is truly on a Hollywood scale: a massive stage, spectacular sets, hundreds of performers, and even elephants on stage. The first part of the show tells the story of the country from ancient times, the second – about the religious beliefs of the Thai people. A full hour and a half of colors, music, and magic.

For complete immersion, there is a ticket option with transfer, dinner, and a walk through an ancient Thai village, where guests can interact with the settings and talk to locals.

Dinner is served before the show and includes a wide variety of Thai dishes.
