Phuket FantaSea Show Ticket Price in INR (2026): Timings, Buffet and Seats

The official Phuket FantaSea show ticket price is 1,800 baht (about ₹5,040) for the show only, or 2,200 baht (about ₹6,160) per adult with the buffet dinner. A Gold seat costs 350 baht more, and return hotel transfers are 450 baht. The park is open only on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, and the show starts at 8:30 pm.

Those are the prices on the park's own website in November 2026. Rupee figures use ₹2.80 per baht, the rate on 9 November 2026. Below are the seat and dinner options, the vegetarian buffet, transfers from Patong and Kata, the phone rule, children's tickets, and the FantaSea tours and combos we sell.

Phuket FantaSea show ticket price: official rates

Phuket FantaSea sells three ticket types. All of them include park entry and Thai VAT.

Add-ons are priced per person:

• Gold seat upgrade: 350 baht (about ₹980), the same for adults and children.
• Suriyamas Gold seafood buffet upgrade: 1,550 baht (about ₹4,340). It includes a Gold seat and is sold only with the show + buffet ticket.
• Return transfer: 450 baht (about ₹1,260) from any hotel in Phuket, or 800 baht from Khao Lak on Fridays only.

So an adult with dinner, a Gold seat and transfers pays 3,000 baht, or about ₹8,400. The park's official price list has the full rules.

If you buy directly, the park takes bookings up to six months ahead, and you collect tickets at its ticket office before the show. It accepts cash and major cards. It takes Thai baht and several foreign currencies, but Indian rupees are not on its list, so carry baht or a card that works abroad. There is a currency exchange booth by the entrance.

FantaSea runs a one-price policy. Its official agents must sell at the park's own prices, and the park says it can refuse vouchers bought at unauthorised discounts. Treat a deal that looks far too cheap with caution. Rupee prices on booking sites, ours included, are converted from baht and can differ from the baht price at the gate. Compare what each option includes, such as transfers and the seat class, not just the headline price.

Standard or Gold seat, and is the buffet worth it?

The "Fantasy of a Kingdom" show runs in a 3,000-seat theatre. Seats are assigned by a computer on a first-come basis, so you cannot choose a seat, and booking early gets better ones. Gold seats are the central block. Pay the extra 350 baht if you want the best view.

The buffet is at the Golden Kinnaree restaurant, which seats 4,000 people and serves Thai and international food. For adults, the show + buffet ticket costs 400 baht more than the show only. That is about ₹1,120 for dinner, which is reasonable for Phuket. The real advantage is timing. The buffet runs from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, right before the show, so you are not rushing to find dinner elsewhere.

If you take the show-only ticket, the park also has an a la carte restaurant, a fast-food outlet and snack stalls inside the village.

Show timings and the days FantaSea is open

• Open days: Tuesday, Friday and Sunday only.
• Park hours: 5:00 pm to 11:30 pm.
• Buffet: 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, sometimes to 9:00 pm on busy nights.
• Show: 8:30 pm, with the theatre gate opening at 8:00 pm. The show lasts about 70 minutes.
• Extra shows: on some announced dates there is a second show at 6:30 pm.
• Recommended arrival: 6:00 pm, to see the village, eat and get through security without a rush.

The park's own news pages show it operating through 2026, from Songkran in April to celebrity visits in August, so the main thing to plan around is the day of the week. On a four- or five-night trip you will usually have only one or two FantaSea nights, so fix that evening first and plan your boat trips around it. Carnival Magic, the other park in the combo ticket, opens on alternating days, which is why the 2-park combo needs two separate evenings.

A sample FantaSea evening

1. Late afternoon: hotel pick-up. The time is set by your transfer booking.
2. Around 6:00 pm: arrive and walk the Festival Village, with its shops, street shows and parades.
3. 6:00 to 7:30 pm: buffet dinner, if your ticket includes it.
4. By 7:45 pm: leave phones and cameras at the camera check before the theatre queue builds.
5. 8:00 pm: the theatre gate opens.
6. 8:30 to about 9:40 pm: the show.
7. After the show: collect your phone, then find your transfer van at the counter by the park entrance.

Allow about five to six hours from hotel pick-up to drop-off if you have dinner at the park. With the show ending around 9:40 pm, most people are back at a Patong hotel before midnight.

Vegetarian and Jain food at the FantaSea buffet

For many Indian families this decides whether the dinner ticket is worth it. According to the park:

• The Golden Kinnaree buffet runs a vegetarian buffet line every day.
• It takes special requests if you give them in advance.
• Halal food is served daily in a separate Muslim-only zone.
• The premium Suriyamas seafood buffet has no vegetarian line, but its guests can use the vegetarian line in the main restaurant.

The park does not promise Jain food, and it does not list Indian dishes. If you eat Jain or strictly no onion and garlic, book the show-only ticket, eat an early Indian dinner in Patong, and be at the park by about 7:30 pm. Patong has plenty of Indian restaurants, and the park is about 9 km away. Our vegetarian food guide for Thailand covers ordering elsewhere on the island.

Children's tickets and tips for families

FantaSea prices children by height, not age:

• Child ticket: 101 to 140 cm tall.
• Free: infants up to 100 cm. They do not get their own theatre seat and must sit on a parent's seat.
• Adult ticket: anyone taller than 140 cm.

Booking sites often use age bands instead. On our FantaSea ticket pages, the supplier prices children aged 3 to 5 at the child rate and anyone 6 or older at the adult rate. Check the band on the tour page before you book for school-age children.

More things parents and older travellers should know:

• The show has pyrotechnics, explosions and loud music. The park warns these can scare young children.
• The theatre is fully air-conditioned and can feel cold. Carry a light jacket or shawl.
• The park says it has facilities for elderly and disabled guests. There are no rides, so it suits grandparents as well as children.
• It is a late night. Small children may fall asleep on the drive back, so plan an easy next morning.

Getting there from Patong, Kata and Karon

Phuket FantaSea is on Kamala Beach, about 9 km north of Patong. You have three options:

1. FantaSea's own transfer: 450 baht per person return, from any hotel in Phuket. Vans are shared, not private. Wait in your hotel's main lobby at least 5 minutes before pick-up. Return vans leave about every 10 minutes after the show, until midnight.
2. A ticket that includes transfers: most booking sites, including ours, sell "with transfers" options that bundle the ride.
3. Taxi or Grab: there is a taxi and tuk-tuk stand at the front of the park for the ride back. Agree taxi fares before you set off.

Kata and Karon are further south than Patong, so pick-ups from there come earlier. If you are in Krabi or Khao Lak, a FantaSea night needs a long drive, so it is easier to plan it for your Phuket nights. Khao Lak transfers run only on Fridays.

Rules to know: phones, dress code and food

• No photos or video in the theatre. You must leave all cameras and camera phones at the camera check booths at security, before you enter. Self-service lockers are also available. Take photos in the village instead.
• Security check. Remove hats, sunglasses and veils at the entrance.
• Dress code. There is no formal dress code, but you cannot enter shirtless or in swimwear.
• No outside food or drinks anywhere on the premises, including the car park.
• No binoculars in the theatre, except for visually impaired guests.
• Tickets are for one date only. If you book directly with the park, full payment is due at least 7 days ahead, and it cannot be refunded once paid.

Elephants appear on stage, and guests can hold tiger cubs in the theatre lounge when they are available. If animals in shows make you uncomfortable, choose a different evening out.

FantaSea tickets and combo tours we sell

Our options follow the same structure as the official Phuket FantaSea show ticket price list. The two show tickets each come in Standard or Gold seat, with or without transfers, and the city tour comes shared or private. Current prices:

• FantaSea show ticket with dinner suits most families: show plus the Golden Kinnaree buffet.
• FantaSea show only is the show ticket for anyone eating elsewhere. Check the inclusions on the tour page before booking, because supplier listings for this ticket are not consistent about the buffet.
• City tour + FantaSea with dinner and transfers fills one whole day. You get a 4-hour island tour (Patong, Karon, Kata and Rawai beaches, Karon Viewpoint, Wat Chalong), then the show and buffet. It comes as a shared or private tour.

Combos with James Bond Island or Phi Phi

Two combos pair the show with a full-day ferry trip. The James Bond Island + FantaSea combo and the Phi Phi Island + FantaSea combo both include lunch, dinner, tickets and transfers. They are spread over two consecutive days, and one of those days must be a Tuesday, Friday or Sunday for the show. National park fees are not included, so carry cash for them. For the James Bond combo, pick-up is listed from city-centre hotels. Both combos also list a pricier "Tour outer" option, which appears to cover hotels outside the central areas, so check which one fits your hotel when you book.

For more on those two boat days, read our James Bond Island tour guide and our Phi Phi tour price guide.

Is Phuket FantaSea worth it?

For most first-time Indian visitors, especially families and groups with grandparents, yes. It is a polished, music-led stage show with very little dialogue, so language is not a barrier, and dinner, shopping and the show all happen in one organised place. At about ₹6,200 to ₹8,400 per adult with dinner at the park's own prices, it is one of the pricier evenings in Phuket.

Skip it if animal acts bother you, if your nights do not fall on a Tuesday, Friday or Sunday, or if you would rather spend the money on another boat trip. For a different evening show, Simon Cabaret in Patong is a popular alternative.

Planning the rest of the trip? Our Phuket trip cost and itinerary guide has a 5-day plan with a FantaSea evening. The Phuket Krabi tour package covers hotels, transfers and island tours. The show is not included, so book FantaSea separately for one of your Phuket nights. More tours are on our Thailand destination page. For a custom quote, use the enquiry form on this page.
