Siam Niramit is a huge exception. Arrive at their enormous complex around dusk and you have time to explore the authentic rural village that has been constructed there. You will swear you are in rustic rice-belt hamlet. Wooden houses on stilts have been brought here from every corner of Thailand. You can see different craftspeople at each of them. Instead, you may decide to take an elephant ride or get a soothing food massage.

The show itself defies description unless you can imagine the Metropolitan Opera, a Las Vegas show and Cirque de Soleil all rolled into one portraying things that are uniquely Thai. The world's largest stage (according to Guinness) will take you on a journey through Siam's history, folklore and festivals in an epic performance that includes 150 performers, more than 500 costumes, sailing ships, angels flying through space, live animals, a visits to mystical places in Thai legend. It is fun, exhilarating and you will leave having experience something much closer to what Thai culture and the Thai spirit are all about.

A very nice buffet dinner with Thai, Western and Indian specialties is available before the show, and is included with the ticket. We are happy to make reservations for you (with our without one of our guides), and provide transportation to and from the show. The cost, including dinner is just 1800 baht (about 55 U.S. dollars*),  with shared van transportation from your hotel. Or we can send you in a private car with one of our guides to keep you company for just a bit extra.
