In both my visits to Bangkok, my partner and I bought tickets for the Calypso Cabaret. It is absolutely terrific, definitely the best drag show we have ever seen---the costumes, lighting, simple but efffective sets, choreography were top notch. The 50 plus performers are very talented, most either gay or transgender. In our visit in 2005 we bought a ticket... More

Having not visited a proper lady-boy show i would recommend every visitor to Bangkok visit at least once. the show lasted an hour and was non-stop with artists miming and dancing to various classic songs. Some of the artistes were gorgeous and you would be hard pressed to tell of their origins. the only downside to the review would be... More

During my 2 prior visits to Bangkok a number of people recommended this show. I had no plans on my first night in town so I picked up a ticket from the tour desk of my hotel. The show is easy to get to as it was only 2 stops on the Skytrain and there is a walking bridge that... More

This is the best drag show in town. Not as fancy as what you will find in Pattaya or Phuket, but it is fun. Sit on the aisle so that you are sure to be chosen to join the ladyboys on stage. More

We ate in the Rio Grill restaurant at the Asia hotel prior to the show. The restaurant was really quiet – in fact we were the only table there for a good 40 mins. The service was fine, but the food quality was really disappointing. Some of the salads were dried up and old and some of the cuts of... More

Calypso is a cabaret show where all the cast are transgenders. The troupe's home is the Asia hotel (right off BTS Ratchatewi - very easy access). We went two couples together and it was a it was a funny and amusing night out. The troupe is very self aware and there's a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor going on. The costumes,... More
