Chiang Mai Cabaret

4 Chabeli - 3 years ago

Great show and entertainment with some humor and interaction with the public especially if you are on the front row. The entrance fee is 350 Baht per person and it includes 1 non/ alcoholic beverage. Once they bring you your drink be prepared to tip them because they will ask you. It is located inside of the Anusarn Market, but it is very easy to find. Definitely worth it!

What a show! This is one of the few ladyboy shows left that are still reasonably priced, funny, and with good production and an amateurish charm. The lip syncs are perfect, costumes shiny, actresses pretty, waitresses sassy, drinks strong, and acts lively.

If you are on the fence this is a PG13 production, one (likely white) guy will get picked to go up either from the front row or the bar during the Rhiana act, his shirt taken off and him danced around, but nothing too raunchy by western standards. There are also spontaneous boob action during some dances when the actress walks the floor to the audience. Avoid front seats if you are shy.

Price did go up a bit but better than anything you'd find in Bangkok, 350 baht to get in, 100 baht to reserve a table (recommended If you want a center seat), and come with plenty of 20 baht bills for tips (waitress will stick her cleavage out until you throw in a bill or two, just roll with it).

Have coins with you because the nearest bathroom is 3 baht to get in, there is a maintenance lady with change but not for larger bills.

Arrive around 8 to 8:30 to buy your tickets and optionally choose a table, do a little shopping or browsing while you wait or get a beer at color bar, then come back at 9:15 to 9:30 (show start), trade your ticket for a beer. About 3 drinks is a good pace for the show including the beer. 150 baht cocktails (cheaper than nearby color bar) and I think 70 for beer. Have more tips ready if you want to take pictures with the cast afterwards.

Smile, be merry, and enjoy the production.

Good entertainment with funny audience participation. Buy your tickets early (8 pm) to get a front seat for the 9:30 - 10:45 pm show. Drink included with ticket. Tips expected by performers if you want to take pictures with them. So beware.

A funny, entertaining show with a variety of songs and performers. Some of the acts looked like they were really enjoying it and lots of audience participation (you've been warned!). 350baht per person including first drink.
Some reviews say suitable for families/children. Im no prude but I wouldn't recommend this for children!
Other reviews moan about the requests for tips. Yes they ask but it's not demanding or persistent and didn't ruin the show.

Great performance by the ladies; even if the lip synching was not on point they made up for it with their dancing and charm. Buy tickets early as the place tends to fill up and also make sure to try to get a seat in the front for better viewing.

Amazing experience! Worth the entry fee (plus you get a free drink). The performers were amazing and it was a widely entertaining show, a must to stop and see!

I wasn’t overly thrilled with this cabaret show. While it had a variety of performances, it’s not really a worthwhile experience. The shows states it runs 1hr, but the performances ran about 40mins and the rest was lights, drinks, and and interlude. There were a few performances that were really fun and outgoing, but for the most part the dancers didn’t seem like there were really having a good time. The entrance ticket came with a drink (beer or soda) and cocktails or other beers were an additional fee. All the waitstaff also expected us to tip, even though tipping isn’t common in Thailand.
