- ShellyNavan, Ireland308 contributionsThis is a truly professional showThis is a spectacular that is just not seen in most countries . There is an entrance extremely organised where there is a lot of people showing the way, dressed in traditional costume .Once in the arena there is a Village showing Thai traditions a little kitsch but nice . You can move to the buffet for as long as you wish which serves plenty of options and is replenished often . It is not the most gastronomic delight you will ever have but there is some nice presentation gone into it and staff are really friendly. There is then a pre show with story telling through dance and music . The one negative and I find it huge is the use of elephants twice , once for photos where the elephant is used to pose in a certain pose every time person stands next to it and then in the pre show with actors sitting on it . I find it intolerable that for such a production they couldn’t do another option than to have an elephant there . Once you move into the auditorium for the main event it it the biggest production I have seen in a long time . With light show / different areas used / water running on stage etc all along with written screen prompts . My husband was mesmerised . I was more entertained with the Stewart’s in the auditorium shining lasers at peoples phones trying to stop Them Recording or taking pictures and also at the enjoyment of the Chinese delegates in front of us clapping so enthusiastically at the historically moments involving the Thais and Chinese . It really is a good night out . I didn’t know what to expect but it was entertaining.Visited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 6 October 2023
- Kayleigh PGloucester, United Kingdom51 contributionsWell worth it!Amazing show! Really cool to walk around the village and learn about Thai history. The show was fantastic the performances were lighthearted and informative. They give explanations in English so you can understand what’s happening. The food was also really good!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 October 2023
- Deepa P5 contributionsNice eveningA little slice of Thailand which was enjoyed by all 5 family members (2 adults, 7/5/2yr children). Show was engaging, could do with a little updating but a nice evening spent.

- Baveshree P128 contributionsExperience not to be missedSiam Niramit is an experience that should not be missed if you’re visiting Phuket. It is expensive but extremely worth it. You are exposed to traditional Thai culture, (if you choose the dining option then also Thai cuisine - we did not select this), the pre show in the courtyard and an 80 minute fantastic show. The costumes were amazing, the stage sets were fabulous and the scene changes were unbelievable, then there’s the actors, actresses and crew … incredible. The organisation of the show was well organised. Well done 👏 We chose the return transport and the platinum show option, everything was very professional.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 24 March 2024
- Karl KAylesham, United Kingdom54 contributionsTraditionalWent here having had such a great time at Carnival Magic. This one is more traditional but not quite as well organised. The story it tells is the same as that at Carnival Magic, but the tech is older and not so much of a wow factor. Staff are all very friendly and hard to believe you wouldn’t enjoy it, but with younger kids carnival magic is probably the show to choose.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 30 March 2024
- Jemma J198 contributionsGood but didn’t need to use animals!Very well organised and produced. We loved the authenticity and learning about Thai culture. Food was nice too but not great choice for picky eaters! Costumes were amazing and Thai village was interesting. We didn’t like how activities were extra such as boat ride, trying on costumes and feeding fish! The main thing we didn’t like was seeing a poor elephant in a small enclosure in village and bison, goats and chicken used in performance. Absolutely no need for this! Otherwise an enjoyable evening.

- Kristina TsevalTallinn, Estonia456 contributionsGreat show!If you are choosing which show to visit on Phuket, that should be your choice! Before the show we had a chace to visit an exibition of thai style village, where you can see how thai people live in different regions, also try traditional thai food. The area is also nice to take beautiful pictures. We liked the show a lot, especially the part of heaven and hell :) no pictures are allowed during the show, but i can say it is better to see with your own eyes. Amazing decorations, river on stage, actors are flying in the air. Our ticket included buffet, all types of thai street food are represented here - i really liked pad thai, papaya salad and tom yum. My recommendation!Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 25 April 2024
- Mustaq.plrKuala Lumpur, Malaysia50 contributionsSiam Nirmait - A grandeur stage experience not to miss ..This is certainly one of the best stage shows one can see. The Thai village settings, carnival games, and preshow were all good depicting the culture. the live show was all in grandeur, the way the scene settings changed quickly, and the way they showed all locations - from heaven to hell to war scenes to agricultural land and floating market on the stage was excellent. The story line might be difficult to follow for all as they were showing different themes as above. Cute performances by everybody especially the romantic couples showing the bartering system. Good that they banned the videos and mobile phones as we would be missing to see the real show. Booked the dinner as well with them. Vegetarians will not have much choice but for others you will have a wide range of different cuisines to try. we as a family enjoyed this show and would recommend to include in the trip while visiting Phuket.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 30 April 2024
- ThaNat c1 contributionA Spectacular Journey Through Thailand’s Cultural Heritage at Siam Niramit.Attending a show at Siam Niramit is more than just a night out—it’s a cultural adventure that leaves a lasting impression. At the Thai Village, the beauty of Thailand’s diverse cultures is on full display. They showcase the unique traditions of the North, Northeast, Central, and Southern regions of Thailand, each one as amazing and beautiful as the next. The staff provides excellent service, making the experience even more enjoyable. On stage, the combination of stunning visuals, expert performances, sounds, special effects, and deep respect for Thai traditions makes this show a true gem. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Phuket.Visited August 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 30 August 2024

We arrived when the gates open at 5.30pm, expecting to spend 2 hours touring the village grounds and 1 hour for dinner before the show at 8.30pm. The village is not really that big, and you can complete the tour in about an hour or so, at a leisurely pace. There were games, foods to sample and photos with staff wearing traditional costumes.
Signages were not very clear. We thought the restaurant is within the village but cannot locate it despite walking one round. We later found it, outside the village and to the right of the entrance.
There is a huge variety of dishes for dinner, and is good value for money. The food's ok, not fantastic. After dinner, there is a preshow at the courtyard which was entertaining, and your only chance to take photos of the "show".
We didn't know cameras and food were not allowed to be brought into the show hall. The lady at the bag check was pretty rough when opening my daughter's bag and spoilt the zipper of her favourite bag. My advice is for you to open the bag yourself while in the queue.
The show's fantastic! We enjoyed it!

The place is stroller friendly and you dont even have to pay to take pictures at the Thai Village. They will teach you a lot of their thai culture at the thai village. There’s also a pre show of dancing, warrior parade and few entertainment before the actual show. The buffet spread is good too. Its halal and many varieties. The driver picked us up at the actual time. Thanks klook for making it easier for us!

I was a bit hesitant about this show at first as I prefer to avoid touristy places. Nevertheless, the show is definitely worth a visit! Amazing performance and the story is easy to understand and very engaging. We took the option with dinner buffet and i highest recommendation, plenty of Asian/Western food to try, nice introduction to Thai food for first time travellers. Don’t miss it.

What an enjoyable evening.
From start to finish, the welcoming staff, the beautiful venues and the excellent show exceeded our expectations.
We booked a platinum ticket through our holiday rep, we were collected from our hotel and taken to the venue.
The buffet was outstanding, so much to choose from and what made it even more special was, I was celebrating my birthday and a cake was brought to me by people singing happy birthday candles all wearing beautiful costumes.
Wandering around the Thai Village was extremely interesting before watching the Pre-show entertainment outside.
Inside the theatre we watched an outstanding show, with beautiful scenery, costumes and dancers. Outstanding all round.
Afterwards we walked out to be greeted by the dancers, before walking out to get our transfer back to the hotel.
Exceptional value for money, and extremely professional.
Thank you Siam Niramit for an amazing evening.

Already when we arrived, there were staff who welcomed us and explained about tickets and where we were going.
When you enter, it feels like a trip back in time.
Recommend that you start walking to the left, where Thai culture starts, you can see and experience the different Thai houses and taste the different dishes, whether you are in the southern, eastern, western or northern part of Thailand. You can also sail around a bit.
Indescribably beautiful, friendly staff, there is also some entertainment before the show starts.
The restaurant is huge, there is everything you could want. Chefs stand and prepare the dish in front of you, looks very exotic, there is both halal food and many different dishes, also dessert (when you are in Thailand you must try the mango stickey rice, if you like mango, mmm)
Just before the show starts there is a pre show, you have to watch it to understand Thai culture. When you enter the hall, you are directed to your place and you are not allowed to take pictures or film or use your mobile at all during the show.
Recommend to anyone who is interested in different culture.

We attended the show in April 2019. Had heard good things about it from friends and family. Online reviews were also great.
We liked the show but it wasn't an out of the world experience that the reviews had us believe. May be our expectation was set too high.
The show is well choreographed and executed with finesse. The stage, the special effects and the drama are all done very well. Worth seeing it for sure.
We ate buffet dinner at the show. It was quite pathetic with hardly anything worth eating. There are no eating places in the vicinity so you have to eat there buffet. If you are from India, skip the Indian food. It's horrible.
It's better to buy tickets with dinner as it works out cheaper.

Well worth your money, we went not sure what to expect however the place is wonderful the moment you walk in your welcomed by people in costume and made to feel like you’ve entered a magical space. The old village you walk around is beautiful and educational all the workers get involved with you, we also ate at the restaurant was wonderful and lots of food options to choose from all great tasting.
The show itself was amazing never seen a production like it, it was amazing with all the details, effects, costumes, props everything was just so entertaining and magical.
The only down side I have to it is the use of animals the elephant, goats, chickens and cattle however they did look well looked after and well fed and from how friendly all the workers/ actors was and the friendly magical atmosphere the place gave you it makes you feel like they are well looked after.
I just hope when not on show and I’m the small fenced areas I hope they are well looked after and have plenty of space to live happily and free in.

Super helpful staff provided us with a much needed wheelchair in minutes, when I say much needed, I mean this place is quite large so waiting for my boyfriend to hop/limp around might have ruined the evening.
First port of call is their Sawsadee restaurant, a massive Thai buffet (with options for westerners who need their fix of spag bol and French fries) containing a lot of options, something for everyone here. The food was excellent , and plentiful, so I recommend coming early to fill up.
The show was great - having a river running across the stage was so cool. There were multiple photo opportunities before and afterwards and even a model village to wander around in. Enjoy a drink at the bar and have a fantastic family night out

If you are in Phuket, you should definetely visit Siam Niramit. We booked everything: transfer there and back, show and dinner, it was 1350baht per person. Show was amazing, Thaivillage was super nice and the dinner was excellent. Don’t eat anything before that, because there is so much food!

How long is the show? We are requesting our transport to pick us up and will be great if we know what time they can come to pick us up.
Written 20 December 2022
The show itself is about an hour long, but you will arrive earlier for the dinner and pre-show. All together it's about 2 hours (approximately). The dinner hall opens about 30 mins before the show. I reccommend to go early (at least 1 hour before the show) so you can experience the different activities before the dinner and show.
Written 21 December 2022
No, you can only take pictures outside of the theater during the preshow.

The ticket I purchased requires I show a passport to get the physical tickets at the venue. Most places allow a copy of a passport or a drivers license.
Do you think passport copies will suffice?

What is the best time to arrive if we wish to eat and do some activities before the show?
Written 15 October 2018
Hi, The restaurant opens at 5.30 p.m., so I would suggest arriving between 5.30 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. in order to to leave plenty of time for other activities. The show starts at 8.30 p.m., but we ask people to start making their way to the theatre at 8.00 p.m., to ensure everyone is seated in time for the show. Regards, Siam Niramit Phuket.
