Shows, Cabaret and Live Entertainment in Phuket: Prices and What Residents Choose
Phuket has large shows, live music and cinemas beyond the bars. This page lists the best-known options and ticket ranges that guides report. Show times and prices change, so book through the venue. Reviewed in November 2026.
Big shows
Simon Cabaret in Patong has run since 1991 in a 600-seat theatre, with three shows an evening and tickets quoted from about 800 baht, VIP seats costing more. A local guide calls it the easiest first-night entertainment for visitors. Phuket FantaSea is a theme-park evening show at Kamala, with tickets quoted from about 1,300 to 2,500 baht depending on dinner and package. Guides add a note that the Dec 31 evening shows can be cancelled due to traffic, so confirm. Another cabaret listed as closed in 2026, so check before you book.
Muay Thai, live music and cinema
Muay Thai stadiums and live shows are priced at several hundred to over a thousand baht, depending on seat and package. See the gym and Muay Thai guide. Live bands play on Bangla Road in Patong until late. SF Cinema at Central Festival shows English-language films regularly according to one guide. See the nightlife guide and the festivals calendar.
