I never thought we'd visit Phuket Fantasea. But now we have and, despite my continuing aversion to anything over-commercial, we will probably visit again. Phuket Fantasea is the biggest, most overtly touristy attraction in Phuket. I probably don't need to explain what it is - a huge theme park with a huge stage show, a huge buffet restaurant and plenty of shops to tempt people into spending more than just the entry fee. Phuket Fantasea opened in 1998 and is certainly one of Phuket's main tourist attractions.. and just the kind of thing that normally would not be on this blog! I like to concentrate more on the other Phuket, away from the crowds, and I am not sure if we'd have ever bought tickets to Phuket Fantasea, but then.. a couple of months ago we got a letter from our kids school - a special afternoon show for schools, special price too. Our kids would have been disappointed, so we ticked the "yes" box on the letter.
