Phuket Hotels near Kata Beach

The story of Hanuman, the Thai Monkey King, and his search for Sita, leaps from the pages of the Ramayana, and Phuket’s women once again battle to save their Island from an invasion of Burmese Pirates. The audience is invited to participate in the magicians’ shows, one of which includes a vanishing elephant. Dancers from Thailand’s four regions perform in ceremonial costume, and not a single one of the show’s seventy-five minutes leaves its audience less than completely captivated.

Staged in the Palace of Elephants at the Phuket Fanta Sea Theme Park adjacent to Kamala Beach, the Fantasy of a Kingdom show is the crowning jewel of an evening in the Park. The Festival Village surrounding the theatre has souvenir shops, a beer garden with live music, and elephant rides. Showgoers can also treat themselves to dinner at the world’s largest buffet restaurant, the four thousand seat Golden Kinnaree.

The Phuket Fanta Sea Buffet

The Golden Kinnaree adds to the magic of the evening with vibrant forest-themed décor based on Thai legend, complete with sculpted images of the half-woman, half- bird Kinnarees. Guests enter the restaurant through the Golden Pavilion, which floats among lotus blossoms on a lake of sapphire water.

The buffet offers both Thai and Western dishes which are refreshed throughout the evening, and include Ship’s Round of Roast Beef. The buffet is served between 6:30 and 8:30, given diners plenty of time for a leisurely meal before the theater performance at 9:00. Show tickets can be purchased with the price of the buffet included.
