Definitely worth a visit. The performances were stunning and the free welcome drink was good. One of the performers even did a quick performance out in the lobby after the show.
I had a wonderful time. The performance was great, music selection was great, vibe was great and the staff was so friendly. I’d love to go and watch it again.

The experience was very good, and many of the animal feeding programs were very cheap, which was much better than in China. The only drawback was that the time intervals between performances were too long and too scattered, and it was impossible to stay in the park for a whole day.
It is recommended to book a chartered car + meal ticket package, which is cheaper than booking tickets and meals separately. The boat tour is 380 baht per person, which is a bit high. Why is the price of taking a photo with the gorilla increased? I paid 155 RMB

It was a fun experience, with convenient island-wide transfers. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and patient with the children.
No second purchases.
It was great that the guide explained the entire feeding process beforehand, including precautions for feeding and interacting with the elephants.
There were no elephant shows or rides here.
We just walked, fed, bathed, and played with the elephants.
Highly recommended! The staff speaks excellent Chinese, so you don't have to worry about not understanding. Feeding the animals is free, and you can even cook with them. Free photos are also available. It's really nice. Excellent value for money, perfect for bringing children. They interact with the kids, and they offer afternoon tea and Thai food. I highly recommend this place!

Cruise on Chao Phraya River | Amazing night views

This is my third time on this cruise. The price is affordable, and the food is great! We spent the afternoon cruising the Chao Phraya River, enjoying the scenery along both sides. The kids loved it! We went to the Ferris wheel and night market on one end, and the bridge on the other. I love it so much!
The night view of the Chao Phraya River is indeed more beautiful at night than during the day. The shows on the cruise ship are very good, and the tourists have a lot of fun. The lively atmosphere also infected everyone. The buffet on the cruise ship is still good, with many choices. The salmon and grilled shrimp and scallops are freshly made. I recommend it. There was an episode during this trip. Due to carelessness in Bangkok’s traffic jam, it was impossible to arrive at the original itinerary. I had to contact Ctrip to help communicate and transfer to the next day ticket. Ctrip was also very helpful. I give it a thumbs up. This time I was able to leave nearly 4 hours in advance and arrived early to go to the Pop Mart upstairs in the mall. It made the Thailand trip a good ending.

After searching through countless guides, I finally decided on Tiffany's. After watching it, I finally understood what everyone meant by "healthy" and "gorgeous." It really had nothing to do with the color cyan; it felt like a Thai version of Disney's Broadway. The opening scene even had a bit of a Kaito Kid vibe to it. 🤣 The content was incredibly wholesome, with themes like nature, equality, freedom, and personal awakening. The costumes, makeup, and actors' dedication were all top-notch. It was absolutely worth it. A must-see if you're in Pattaya!
✊❤️ Tiffany's Show is a masterclass in joyous, heart-lifting spectacle. From the moment the curtain rises, you're enveloped in a world of astonishing beauty. The cast possesses a captivating warmth and stage presence that makes every character shine. The costumes are nothing short of breathtaking artistry – intricate, opulent, and utterly mesmerizing. Every detail, from the sumptuous sets and props to the innovative lighting and seamless effects, creates a truly immersive fantasy. The choreography is sharp, elegant, and full of life. It's a symphony of visual delight! While the entire production is a testament to dazzling talent and stagecraft, witnessing the performers' own vocal artistry alongside their brilliance would elevate this radiant experience into something even more profoundly touching and authentic. A truly magnificent celebration!

Easy to get there by BTS train,I rent an electric scooter to travel around, it’s big area for visiting! Nice views can take beautiful photos
This attraction is highly recommended. It showcases classic architecture from various Thai provinces, condensed into a single park. Renting a golf cart is essential, as the park is vast. Walking alone wouldn't cover the entire area, so rent a golf cart and arrive early to enjoy the buffet at noon. The buffet also includes excellent performances, allowing you to directly experience Thai rural customs from ancient times to the present day.

It's great, right on the basement floor of Siam Paragon. It's quite crowded, mostly with children. There are many kinds of marine fish, snakes, sand tiger sharks, sawfish, and many more! The shark tunnel is the best!
Definitely worth the visit for all ages. Great interactivity, captivating facts are spread all over the place. Vast variety of marine and river creatures which make this place an unforgettable experience.

Actually, I knew that all of them were lip-syncing before I came, but just to see the dance and listen to the songs, the ticket price was worth it. And unlike what I expected, their songs and dances were really rich in variety, with grand momentum, Chinese style, sexy leather pants style, melodramatic plot, Thai and Korean traditional style, etc.
The ladyboy show itself is just a catwalk show of various costumes. It's not particularly spectacular, but the overall atmosphere is different from what you'd find in China. It's also very child-friendly, and generally suitable for children.
That's why it deserves a five-star rating and is worth a visit.
