Phuket FantaSea show: what it is and how to get there

Phuket FantaSea is an evening cultural theme park near Kamala Beach on the west coast. The main event is a theatre show called Fantasy of a Kingdom, staged in the Palace of the Elephants, with a shopping and games area called Carnival Village around it. Kamala is 27 km from Phuket airport, about 49 minutes by road. Below is what a visit involves and how to plan the transport, including the ride home.

Phuket FantaSea show near Kamala Beach, Phuket

What Phuket FantaSea is

It is a large site with a theatre, a shopping area and a restaurant.

  • The theatre: the Palace of the Elephants is built in the style of a Siamese palace, with carved elephants on the building, and is reported to seat around 3,000 people.
  • The show: Fantasy of a Kingdom mixes acrobatics, dance and animals in a story drawn from Thai folklore. Reviewers describe it as running about 90 minutes.
  • Carnival Village: shops and carnival games, which you pass through before the show. A large buffet restaurant is also on site.

Animals appear on stage. If that matters to you, read recent visitor reports before you book.

Tickets, days and show time

We do not list prices, opening days or show times here, because they change. Check them with the park or your ticket seller, and ask what the ticket includes, for example whether dinner is part of it. This page does not sell tickets; we handle the transport.

Planning the evening, including the ride home

Arrive well before the show starts, so the walk through Carnival Village does not eat into your seat time. The show ends at night and a full theatre empties at once, with everyone looking for a lift at the same moment. Settle the way back before you go in.

If you want a driver for the whole evening, see our page about hiring a car with a driver around Phuket. Keep the airport days separate: transfer to the hotel on arrival, the show in the evening, the airport on the day you leave.

Who FantaSea suits and which car to book

It is a big, loud, theatrical evening, mostly sat in a theatre, so it suits groups and families who want a set piece rather than a quiet night. If you prefer low-key evenings, a beach dinner in Kamala will suit you better.

For the transport, group size sets the car, not the number of tickets. A Sedan takes up to 3 passengers with luggage, an SUV or MPV up to 4, a Minibus up to 9 and a VIP Minibus up to 8 with a premium cabin. The price is per car and does not change with the number of passengers, so a family of four fits an SUV or MPV at the same fixed price. Arrival transfers start from 999 THB for a Sedan. Prices are on the taxi pricing page.

How far FantaSea is from the airport and nearby beaches

Landing in the afternoon and going to the show the same evening is realistic if you go to the hotel first. The airport price is fixed per car, from 999 THB for a Sedan, with Gate 2 next to Exit 2 for international arrivals.
