Phuket Thailand Tourist Activities

Simon Cabaret

A super-deluxe drag-queen cabaret show. A popular attraction in all of the beach resorts in Thailand. Many Thai transvestites demonstrate a real talent in dressing as women, singing and dancing. A favored tourist destination in spite of the fact they adhere to the policy of charging foreign guests more than visiting Thais. Two shows daily at 7:30 and 9:30 PM. Located 100/6-8 Mu 4 Patong-Karon Road. ( Click here to see Photos of Phuket Simon Cabaret)

Thai Village

Two shows daily, 11 AM and 5:30 PM Tickets cost 220 baht, children at half price. Reserve a seat by calling 214-860 or 214-861 or you can book through a travel agent. Like the Thai Village locations in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, it provides visitors with a brief sampling of southern Thai culture. A colorful medley of classical and folk dances, sword fighting, the bamboo art of self defense, and Thai boxing, the finale is a Thai wedding. All performed in native costumes. A demonstration on tin mining and rubber tapping reflect two of the major natural resources of Phuket. After the show, exit the hall to an outdoor arena where elephants show how they handle huge teak logs. In an open-air area, artisans demonstrate how southern crafts are made. Near the entrance of the village are nurseries filled with some 40,000 beautiful orchids that may be purchased and shipped home as gifts. To reach the Thai village, drive north on Thepkastri Road (H402). Turn left at KM2.5, just before a huge BMW sign, drive 1km (1/2 mile) more and park.

Phuket Seashell Museum

Open daily the usual business hours a truly remarkable building. The museum is in reality Phuket’s oldest and most comprehensive shell shop. Many cheap and unusual gifts.

Dino Park

Dino Park is a combination of good food, good fun and special atmosphere.
Experience Phuket's only active volcano, gentle streams and pre-historic caves in a fantasy landscape offering great family entertainment on Kata Beach.

Snake Farm

Part of the Phuket Shooting Range complex this show is part educational with demonstrations on what to if you encounter a snake in the wild, and how to treat a wound if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten. Very useful information because there are a large number of snakes living on Phuket including the king Cobra. The part of the show that includes seemingly sensible young men dance around, kiss, and otherwise annoy the snakes may make you a bit squeamish. Follow the directions to the Phuket Shooting Range.
