Phuket FantaSea, Kamala

Definitely a must do for first time visitors or returning visitors as well. It’s claimed to be a theme park but in my opinion it’s mainly a cultural show that has a mass buffet dining hall with elephant feed and riding before the show. Having said that, I do recommend buying tickets with the buffet included because it’s worth the additional price. The array of dishes on offer is not extensive in Thai standards but you definitely won’t go be left hungry. Be sure to explore the dining hall perimeters though because there’s additional food options there too. There is a special exclusive vegetarian and halal section for those with dietary requirements. The park opens from 5.30pm and the show starts at 8.30pm. 3 hours to explore the park and have dinner was more than enough time for us. I enjoyed feeding the elephants some snacks! But allow extra time for the below information. When it’s Showtime and upon entry to the theatre they will require all phones and recording devices to be cloaked/deposited. Imagine this process with thousands of people. You’ll be handed with the collection number. Then imagine the same process when collecting your devices. I guess it’s the length to process IP. I hope through this process no one has ever lost a device because they do say they won’t take any responsibility. Otherwise, enjoy the show!

Huge park and amazing show! I booked our tickets online and happy I did as the process of entry was much easier than lining up with the masses. My mum had mobility issues so we went out a little earlier and ended up being at the front of the line to enter. The staff were very friendly and helpful with my mum and baby. Once inside, you are met with a lot of colour and little shops selling unique gifts, keepsakes, food etc. We made our way to the restaurant for our buffet meal and it was incredible. From there we went to see the elephants before moving inside for the show. The show itself was beautiful. Afterwards, we collected our phones and made our way back to the entrance. Outside everything was lit up and nothing short of magic 😍
