CALYPSO CABARET
Read moreThis cabaret, located in the grand Asian gallery The Riverfront, is famous for its ladyboy shows. The show, inspired by the best cabarets in Las Vegas and Paris, is remarkable and flamboyant, a mix of the comical, the sexy and the strange. The impersonations and skits are all outstanding. Songs in English, Thai but also in Chinese, Japanese or Korean to satisfy the international clientele in the room. Possibility to have dinner on the spot. A very good time to share with the whole family.
SIAM NIRAMIT BANGKOK
Read moreThe most grandiose and impressive local show traces seven centuries of history of the Kingdom of Siam. 150 artists participate in this fresco whose costumes and special effects are amazing. 2,000 people attend this American-style show every night. However, it is a pity that animals, especially elephants, are still part of the show... But we're in Thailand. Tickets are sold at a high price on the website, but with a bit of mischief you can buy them much cheaper through a travel agency...

On the second floor there is a small museum dedicated to rice cultivation, language and literature, Thailand and the world, and the history of the country.
