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.
