Phuket Fantasea show and Phuket Fantasea cultural theme park
Inspired by Thailand’s exotic heritage, Phuket FantaSea not only showcases the charm and beauty of Thailand but also enriches ancient Thai traditions with the wonder of cutting-edge technology and special effects.
The result is a stunning 140-acre cultural theme park that has become the ultimate in nighttime entertainment on the resort island of Phuket. Created at a cost of over 3,500 million THB, Phuket FantaSea offers a multitude of attractions not found anywhere else in the world.
Phang Nga Bay sea canoe
Phang Nga Bay, with its beautiful limestone rocks and islands, is one of the most stunning must-see attractions of Phuket. The bay is best to be explored by sea canoe. Watch the wildlife and paddle through narrow bat caves and fantastic lagoons. The bay can be explored in almost any weather condition; it is well protected from waves, and sunshine is not absolutely necessary.
Since Mangosteen Resort has opened, the best sea canoe trip is always recommended, John Gray Hong by Starlight. John’s trip is the best to recommend and an experience not to be missed.
Salt-water swimming pool
The large free-form swimming pool is saltwater-ttreated and the heart of the property. It is open 24 hours a day with water temperatures around 30 degrees. There is generous space for everybody, and even with the resort fully booked, the pool area will not feel crowded.
Thai cooking classes
Thai food is famous around the world, and with Asia shops mushrooming in almost every country and city worldwide, more and more people like to cook some of the tasteful and spicy dishes at home. Book a Thai cooking class with the resort's chef and learn by doing.
