Divided into three sections, Phuket FantaSea has the Festival Village for shopping, the Golden Kinnaree Buffet Restaurant for dining and the entertaining Palace of the Elephants. The show is clearly the highlight of the event, with its acrobatics, dancing, elephants and pyrotechnics, showing off a glamorous display of Thai culture and mythology with grandeur reminiscent of Las Vegas. With over 400 performers, 40 elephants, tigers and several other animals, the 70-minute show is truly magnificent and grand with no expenses spared.

The Village itself has stalls and games that make for a leisurely evening stroll, with souvenirs that aren’t too harsh on the wallet. With local handicraft for sale, the Village is for those who want to keep a bit of authentic Thailand with them even after they go home.
