Phuket Hotels near Simon Cabaret

Simon Cabaret staged its first show in October of 1991, and to say the future of the transvestite performances seemed questionable would be an understatement. While the Thai people themselves are very tolerant of alternative lifestyles, the survival of tourist areas like Phuket Island depends, of course, on international tourists. So the Simon Cabaret had to offer a family-friendly but suitably adult show sophisticated enough to please audiences from around the world.

And the show’s managers never stinted when it came to choreography, costuming, and talent. The results are so realistic that any newcomer to the Patong Beach night scene might easily see one of the Simon Cabaret shows without realizing that Phuket’s most dazzling showgirls are other than they appear.

The Simon Cabaret Performers

The Simon Cabaret enhances its stage shows with state of the art sound and lighting, special effects, and breathtaking settings. The performers lip-sync song lyrics in a variety of languages, learn dozens of intricate dance routines, change highly complicated costumes with blazing speed, and spend much of their time creating illusions with makeup and complex hair styles. They also await their exiting guests at the end of each performance, making themselves available for photographs.

The Simon Cabaret transvestites perform twice each evening at 7:30 and 9:30, and tickets begin at 500 Bhat.
