Never experienced that before, and was greatly appreciated”

“Autentikus hely és a hely hangulata. Több hagyományőrző táncos előadásra számítottunk és kevesebb a közönség(turisták)bevonásával történő össznépi vígadalomra!Az előadás fele csak arról szól,hogy mindenkit akit lehet a színpadra invitálunk és táncoltatunk,ez számunkra kicsit groteszknek tűnt,mindenki össze-vissza táncikált a saját stílusa szerint,miközben egy görög hölgy énekelt. Legyen inkább 1,5 órás a show de az tömören tényleg a görög tradicionális táncról és zenéről szóljon,ne pedig az enyhén ittas turista társaink szabadon választott táncikálásáról,görög zenei aláfestéssel!”
Board the All Star Cruise at Balihai Pier for a 90-minute evening on Pattaya Bay. You’ll get an international buffet with seafood and Indian dishes, unlimited beer and soft drinks, a cabaret show by award-winning transgender performers, music, and time for photos after the performance.
“Grauenhaft. Statt 90 min. waren es 60 min. Das Essen vielfach kalt und einfach das billigste vom billigsten. Show eine einzige Abzocke auf Basis der Anmache. Die letzten 20 min. wurden nur damit zugebracht sich mit den Mädels für 100 Baht ablichten zu lassen. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen die Finger davon zu lassen,- obwohl einigen Chinesen gefällt es”
Enjoy a buffet of Khmer and international dishes at Amazon Angkor or Morakot Restaurant, then watch traditional Apsara, coconut, and fishing dances with live Khmer music. Hotel pickup and return by tuk-tuk or air-conditioned minivan make this an easy evening after visiting Angkor Wat.
