Very nice show. Decor and costumes are incredible. We recommend you to arrive 2-3 hours prior the the show, it will give you the opportunity to visit the “Asiatique the Riverfront Warehouse 7” and have a meal in one of the many restaurant facing the boardwalk….superb atmosphere WOW!
Hi Francoise, Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the show and appreciated the incredible décor and costumes. Your tip about arriving early to explore Asiatique and enjoy a meal by the boardwalk is super helpful—it really adds to the overall experience! Sounds like a fantastic night out. 😊✨ Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
The show was a lot of fun. The costumes were amazing and it didn’t drag on. The ladies all did a great job: thankfully there was canned applause because the crowd were dead even though it was a packed house. I think some cultures don’t see the fun in these shows.

Our team works hard to create a fun and engaging experience for everyone, and we’re glad it didn’t feel too long or drawn out for you.

Not what we expected but an interesting experience all the same - it’s more international review and less Thai than I thought

Nice theater. Dancers had lots of energy. Great costumes. Music dated. Karaoke…no live music. Cheesey.
Dear Eban, Thanks for your review and I am sorry you did not enjoy the music and we have never promoted this as a live music show. In fact on the website we do mention this is a cabaret show and is mimed. Thanks Paul Thanks, Paul
Excellent show, well worth the money, would highly recommend. The theatre was really nice with little tables and lamps creating a nice ambience. Toilet and bar facilities right by the theatre too.
