Phuket Fantasea buffet

Phuket Fantasea shop

Phuket FantaSea

Billed as "The Ultimate Nighttime Cultural Themepark," this attraction left me more bewildered than anything else. Imagine tossing together one part Disneyland, one part Las Vegas, and one part Thai culture and you get Phuket FantaSea. This show and surrounding entertainment area will appeal to those who enjoy the spectacles of Vegas and Disneyland (without the rides).

First we were treated to a buffet that fed between 2000 and 3000 people. I had never eaten in such a large group. But, the food was decent and the lines were not long.

The second picture shows Andrea in front of a shop facade for the Chang and Eng store. Chang and Eng are the original "siamese twins." (Recall: Thailand was formerly named Siam). Many people remember seeing them in the Guiness Book of World Records.

The main attraction is a "vegas-style" show that included some elements of Thai culture and 16 elephants on stage. When entering this show, they make you give them your cameras so you can't take pictures.
