About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sayersclan0 contributionsDinner and site seeing down the riverGreat boat ride down the river, lots of lovely views, we got to sit outside out the front of the boat which was the perfect spot to take pictures. Lovely warm night and lots of other boats on the river as well, food was great. Definitely recommend The Wonderful Pearl dinner cruise.Written 11 January 2025
- philipjamesrv0 contributionsYou will want to consider this unique service in BKK Intl.We booked for both departure and arrival fast track. Service was very efficient on both arrival and departure fast track. On departure, the airline counters had a gate change and the checkin counters opened an hour earlier. Called Asia Thailand and requested to meet at an hour earlier and at another gate. No problem. A must for first time tourists to Bangkok. A convenience for all returning tourists.Written 11 January 2025
- orangekiwi110 contributionsTotally worth the 5 stars for this cruiseI recently went on the Luxury White Dinner Cruise, and it was awesome! Beautiful Setting: The yacht had this classy white decor that made everything feel special and cozy. The buffet dinner was super tasty, and food is spread out on all decks (we sat in the open air). The staff were super friendly and treated us like VIPs. They really took care of us. After dinner the entertainment started and the live music was great and added a nice vibe to the evening. The musicians were really talented especially the singer. All in all, the Luxury White Dinner Cruise was an unforgettable experience with delicious food, awesome service, and beautiful views. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special night out on the water!Written 10 January 2025
- orangekiwi110 contributionsgreat value for money before your flightI recently checked out the Coral Lounge at Phuket International Airport and had a fantastic time. If you’re looking for a chill spot to relax before your flight, this place has got you covered. The team was super welcoming and made sure everything was smooth while i was there. There are lots of cozy seating to kick back and relax. Finally the the buffet had tasty dishes, snacks, and drinks to keep you fueled up. We stayed in the lounge 90 minutesWritten 10 January 2025

- joshc9600 contributionsBrilliant River Cruise with incredible staffWe had the most amazing time on the saffron river cruise! We organized it through the Banyan Tree as we were staying there whilst in Bangkok. We first met Ekkorn who guided us to where we needed to be. Whilst in line my wife suddenly felt faint and she passed out as we were climbing the stairs on to the boat. We were helped up by several members of staff and she was immediately sat down at a table. As she wasn't responding I asked for help and Fah and her team leapt in to action. One of the security team had smelling salts and managed to bring her round with them. Fah then went above and beyond to ensure my wife felt better bringing her some plain rice and some sprite and water to make her feel better, which fortunately worked. The situation could have ruined the night but the whole staff including the wonderful chef and the lovely Namp who served us drinks and took photos for us made sure our night was extra special. We were looked after the whole evening and we couldn't be more thankful. We would definitely recommend the river cruise, even without the extra care we were given. Seeing Wat Arun and Rama 8 Bridge lit up at night was spectacular and all 4 courses of food were delicious. The atmosphere was classy but relaxed, perfect for what we wanted. Thank you to everyone working on the Saffron River Cruise on the 5th December for an unforgettable night on the Chao Phraya River.Written 9 January 2025
- TravelerATLGT0 contributionsInteresting for a history buffA long drive and a long day. Interesting to see once for a history buff. Disturbing for a person not very interested in the history. The train ride was a good experience. The bridge would be undistinguished except for the history of the cost of human life it took to build it. The facts of the construction and wartime experience are different than the Hollywood of the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai".Written 8 January 2025

- P9883XYians0 contributionsExtremely rude and unhelpful driverThe trip was good. It was great to ride the train across the River Kwai. However it was spoiled by a rude and unhelpful driver. We had booked for a hotel pickup and drop off. On the return the driver said, “You get out now, your hotel is over there”. He forced us out onto road next to the crash barrier at an unfamiliar location. Luckily we had Google Maps to navigate the few hundred metres to our hotel.Written 7 January 2025

I am Singapore, been to Phuket many times! For night life besides Patong beach night shopping, cafe, massage & bar 🍺, I would highly recommend 1 of the nights in Phuket to this newly opened “CARNIVAL MAGIC”! Indeed a magical feel, like entering into “Disneyland”! The colourful lighting setup theme park making me becoming a small boy in dreamland! The world largest pop-corn machine, world most LED light display, grand air con theatre for parade show, the more than 3,000 sets grand buffet restaurant, ……. Realised this theme park awarded so many World Guinness Record!!!!👍👍👍 Colourful setup definitely good for photography. I would say the setup is international standard! Worth to spend a night there for a different Phuket experience. Especially a great place for family with children. Just pity no photography in the parade show theatre, but giving the chance to watch throughout 😄

wow - what an experience! It's an explosion of color from the very first moment and behind every corner there's a new surprise and a new photo, Insta, selfie motif. The staff are very friendly and you are guided through the event and the locations without stress.
We had booked including a buffet and entered early at 5:45 p.m., which turned out to be very good for us. We were among the first visitors and were able to experience the park almost empty and take advantage of the blue hour.
The buffet is okay, soft drinks, water, tea, coffee are included, everything else costs extra for drinks.
The show is gigantic and a mega spectacle for children with a little surprise at the end.
About the other areas - you can hardly describe it, you have to experience it - period.
You can enjoy the location even in the heaviest rain. Important: your shoes should be allowed to get wet.

Fun Night. Lots of spectacular lights. Great for kids under 12. Buffet was ok- the coconut chicken soup was to die for. Lovely little animal petting area. Beautiful costumes. The show is quite a sensory overload so may not be suitable for those with sensory integration issues. Phones are taken away prior to the carnival parade as management understandably dont want the show recorded- very well organised collection of phones and easy to get it back from the secure storage area. My 5 yr old wants to go back again.

We visited on a Wednesday night in January - I have to say the theming and immersive element were world class! The buffet was also very good.
I felt what let down the place was the show, not the show so much but the organisation. Firstly our phones were locked away during show - I happily obliged but then in the show several people around us had their phones out and were filming. I didn’t appreciate being told to lock my phone away if the majority of people didn’t. It felt unfair.
The second thing was there were so many children running around during the show which was not only distracting but also dangerous. It’ll be just a matter of time before someone falls down the stairs or goes over the railings.
The third thing was there were so many people up and down in their seats, again very distracting.
All in all, we enjoyed it but the evening was slightly spoiled but the show points I’ve made.

Dear W5167Y,
Thanks for taking the time to post your comments and for your positive notes about the food and the park itself.
We are extremely sorry to hear about the show. All guests must lock their phone as they ban recording and we have advised carnival magic to also keep an eye on the audience in the future. For the children and people in their seats, we can not control this and they will look in a way how to combat this. However I believe this was an isolated experience,
Regards,
Nick

It turns out that if you bought tickets online, then this is not enough, at the entrance there are a million rules you need to get a coupon in exchange for this online confirmation and exchange it in a separate queue for a ticket and return to a separate queue for entry. We were with a stroller, they made our father go through security separately, thereby separating the family. Inside there are many prohibitions, starting from unfriendly rules if you are with a stroller and a ban on cameras and phones. The attraction itself is a scam in the style of Turkish jewelry stores. I also want to note the pricing, the ticket itself does not give the right to the attractions inside, they must be purchased separately

Dear Parradis,
Thank you for your review, though it appears that your booking was not made through our company but on Carnival Magic Website
Had you booked with us, we would have provided direct entry tickets to ensure a smooth experience. Additionally, we offer various ticket options, including some with dinner and others as ticket-only packages. It’s up to the customer to select the package that suits them best.
For any other concerns, I recommend reaching out to the park directly, as I am unable to address issues related to bookings not made with IAsia Thailand.
Best regards,
Paul

I would only recommend visiting this place if you have a larger budget and are willing to spend well above normal market rates. The cheapest tickets I could find online were 1,600 BHT per person. The majority of the action takes place from 7:45 when a street parade starts. From there you then move onto the river float parade at 8:30 and then the main attraction being the kingdom of lights opens from 9:30 - 10:30. Before all this, the main activities out with eating the overpriced food is to play the Carnival games dotted around the park which costs 500-600 BHT per person for 2 games. Overall, we regretted spending a good chunk of our backpackers budget on this however could see this being great if you have children as they can enter for for free if under 100cm height.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your experience at Carnival Magic Theme Park. We appreciate your detailed feedback. We understand that and additional costs may not align with every budget, and we regret to hear that it impacted your visit. However we do sell many ticket options including show only, to dinners and transfers included.
Carnival Magic does aim to provide a unique and magical experience, especially for families with children, but we acknowledge that the cost may not suit all visitors.
Your insights are valuable, and we will take them into account for future improvements.
Thanks,
Paul

We didn’t realise this was a children’s event and we paid a lot of money thinking it was a carnival type of event.
However upon arriving we quickly realised that this was not what we hoped for and asked for a refund and we were refused so we then asked if we could give the tickets to someone else who had children and we were told no there’s nothing we can do which is absolutely ridiculous.
The events seems very nice but unless you have children don’t bother and if you do be prepared to spend a fortune and the food buffet is not very good.

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your review but it does not mention this is a children's park anywhere on the website, this is for all ages.
You entered the park, had the buffet and then you wanted a refund which as you realise is not acceptable. Who would we or you sell the tickets to if you were already in the park and the people inside the park had already purchased a ticket?
They also have 2 shows and one is a carnival as well in the streets which maybe you missed
We thank you for your review but you cant expect a refund after you went to the park and had the food
Thanks,
Paul

My family was attracted to colours of the park. Bought tickets thought rather expensive but when we went in, really amazing! Ticket price become very cheap because what we see is worth it! The shopping street so so joyful. Colors everywhere! We took many pictures and play many games! Kids love them, not enough time must go eat dinner. Restaurant also so beautiful! Food very good! Then the show! Very big props! Last is the light park. Took the golf cart service because kids tired. But very beautiful. A must go in phuket!

This is a brand new theme park, next to the fantasia park. This was a great night! The food at the theatre was excellent and had may dishes to choose from. As we left the food area, we went to see the show which was so much fun. Walking to the theatre you can see many street performers. The show and theatre were magnificent. Dont forget to see the lights after the show.

I'll be making a YouTube video review of this colorful amusement park in July 2024, so look for it!
In the meantime, trust me, this is the most colorful place on Earth!
The food court has a fantastic selection.
Children will enjoy this more than anyone, but even old, grumpy people will smile.

Is this activity geared and mostly appreciated by young family’s with children or would 20 years old and a 50 year old old father love it too? And what do you do, once you’re inside?
