Phuket Fantasea
This theme park is enough like Disneyland for kids to love it, and enough like Las
Vegas for parents to enjoy it too. It is packed with fun activities, entertainment, and
shopping. The spectacular Fantasy of a Kingdom is the longest running live show in
Asia. Before this dazzling show, you can enjoy one of Asia's largest buffet dinners in
the 4,000-seat dining facility at Golden Kinnaree restaurant.

Muay Thai
Two venues in
Patong
host regular bouts in which south Thai fighters pummel
one another with elbows, shins, knees, and fists. Patong Boxing Stadium and Bangla
Boxing Stadium witness plenty of vicious knockouts. The music accompanying the
fights sounds like something composed in a madhouse - a haunting windpipe, tribal
drums, and tiny finger cymbals encourage the boxers. Many foreign fighters come to
train at the
muay thai
gyms on Phuket, and they often test their mettle in the rings
here.
Phromthep Cape
On clear nights, a west-facing hilltop on Phuket's southern tip feels like a public gath-
ering in anticipation of what could be a space shuttle launch or a fireworks show,
with all eyes on the horizon. However, there is no such spectacle - the crowds are
here to witness the end of the day, and who'd have thought it could be so spectacular
