8 Romantic Honeymoon Destinations to Put on Your Radar
You *really* won't want the honeymoon to end.
Long before the performance starts, the cultural park around the Siam Niramit theater comes alive. Stroll the Thai Village, with its traditional wooden houses, to see live demonstrations of crafts from silk-making to weaving and rice preparation. Alternatively, rent costumes for a photoshoot, watch a dance performance or Muay Thai demonstration, or enjoy the light and fountain show.
Choose between silver, gold, and platinum seats for the performance: platinum seats are central and raised for the best views. Some packages include dinner at the theater’s great-value Thai and international buffet; others include transfers.
Siam Niramit Phuket is on the outskirts of Phuket Town, about a 5-mile (8-kilometer) drive north of Phuket Old Town. There’s no public transportation and most travelers will find it easier to book a ticket package that includes transfers than to self-drive Phuket at night.
Phuket’s Siam Niramit show runs every night of the week but Tuesday. Doors open for pre-show fun in the late afternoon, while the performance starts in the evening. Arrive well before the show to make the most of the other activities.
The visuals and music are spectacular enough that you don’t need to follow the Siam Niramit story in detail. But the first act introduces Thailand’s four main regions, with their different cultures, costumes, and traditions; the second explores the mystical three worlds of Thai Buddhism, complete with floating angels; and the third reenacts key Thai festivals, such as the Songkran (New Year) water fight and Loy Krathong lantern festival.
