awesome professional show, very talented beautiful performers. must visit when you are in phuket. theatre, scene, costumes, dances, services were on a very high level, I think it's a best show on the island. you cannot take photo or video during show it's not allowed, but you can take a picture with performances after show.

The therapists were so kind and professional! And most of all, the experience of getting a massage while listening to the sound of the waves was so refreshing and great. I highly recommend it, especially if you are staying at Amari Phuket.
