“Great fun show!! Little bit of effort to get to but I’d recommend going early and exploring the Asiatique area and ride the big wheel to make an evening of it.”
Spend one hour at Phuket’s Simon Cabaret, a polished stage show of lip-synced music, dance, elaborate costumes, and changing backdrops. Expect Thai and Western songs, bright lighting, and a lively drag-cabaret style. Admission costs about $25 per person, with photos available after the show for an extra fee.
“It was really fun, some sets of songs were a bit underwhelming but most of it was brilliant.”
See Simon Cabaret Phuket, a long-running stage show mixing Thai tradition, modern music, costume, dance, art, and technology. Choose VIP seating on the first floor or regular seating on the second. Meet at the theater, with no hotel transport included.
Spend 75 minutes at Tiffany’s Show Pattaya, Thailand’s long-running transgender cabaret, with polished production numbers, striking costumes, and large-scale sets. Choose mezzanine or VIP seating, then meet performers outside for optional photos. Tickets cost about $34, with no food or drinks included.
“Staging and costume were good the choreography could have been better. Looked very amateur. For the price for 1 hour thought was expensive.”
Spend 90 minutes at Phuket’s Simon Cabaret in Patong, where polished performers move through Chinese, Egyptian, Indian, and Western-themed numbers with fast costume changes, bold lighting, and large stage sets. Choose standard or first-three-row seating, with hotel transport available as an add-on.
“It was the most beautiful people I had ever seen! The venue was luxurious and well ventilated. they had great drinks that were adorned with most beautiful decorations. You were able to take the drinks indoors in to the venue hall as well. My only minus about the whole experience is that the music (specifically the bass sounds) were sometimes too loud and would break the quality of the sound at times. Though this wasn't too bad and I am probably the only one who noticed it. Definetly coming back again to see the show next time I visit Phuket!”
Spend 75 minutes at Pattaya’s long-running Alcazar Cabaret, a polished transgender stage show with 17 music and dance numbers, elaborate costumes, powerful lighting, and international themes. Choose standard, deluxe, or VIP seating, then show your ticket at the theater. Hotel transfers are not included.

“Brilliant show! Dancing galore, singing in one thousand languages. Reams of silk, satin, tulle and chiffon. Tons of precious stones in costumes and lavish headwear and stilettos aplenty. Briefly, a screaming show and a lovely night out.”
Spend 75 minutes at Pattaya’s Alcazar Cabaret, where talented transgender performers present Thai dance, music, impersonations, comedy, and Broadway-style numbers.

“Good show except everything is lip synced. The show was energetic but at times seemed a little amateurish.”
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”

“The cruise and show were incredible. Great atmosphere well worth the money spent. My only criticism was the check in locations were not clear and I spent a significant amount of time trying to find the cruise check in desk only just making it in time before the cut off. Hence the 4 stars.”
