I saw good comments about this show on this site so I decided to check it out while I was in Patong. I went with my girlfriend and we weren't very impressed to be honest. It is exactly what you think it is.....men putting on wigs and dresses trying to pass themselves off (unconvincingly) as women. At first it was... more

My wife and I were a part of a cruise on Phuket and we decided to watch the show without doing much research. I liked the costumes and the beautiful 'women'. The show itself was not probably the best compared to western standards, but you are not in the west, remember? Many of the earlier reviewers were right. I asked... more

Almost everyone who goes to Phuket, goes to Simon cabaret it seems. It is a ladyboy show, with glamerous sets and even more glamerous women who used to be men. It is almost impossible to tell that they were previously blokes, we were stunned. The show was good and worht the money but some of the recordings that the 'girls'... more

So, if you are interested in lip syncing, then you might possibly enjoy this show. Otherwise its hard to stay awake. Whilst the lady boys are amazing and some of the costumes are great, its still a complete waste of time and i would not recommend this to anyone. If you are still crazy enough to go to this, then... more

Don't be fooled by the reviews on here, me and my friend went to see this, and it was exactly what it said in the leaflets! "Ladyboy cabaret in stunning costumes mimming" - so that's what we expected.... The website for the cabaret says 1000 baht for VIP seats - book this with a tour agent on the roadside -... more

Terrible , worst show my wife and I have ever seen. No live singing just bad miming. Dancing was so bad better at my aerobics dance class. The costumes were so tatty they smelt ,aswe were sitting 6 rows from the front. Don,t go. You can take a walk down Bangla rd in Patong and see all the Lady boys... more

Went to simons caberet last week with friends on holiday agree with most of comments costumes fantastic but show only ok.When show finishes everyone goes out the exit to find all the ladyboys standing ready to take photos of you with them,i posed for a photo and so did my husband and one of our friends futher along the crowd... more

I guess for a show that has been around for so long I expected more. Dancing is ameaturish, some of the dancers look liked though they didn't want to be there but the costumes were fantastic and Tina Turner was a blast. Worth a look if you have a spare night and want to see some ladyboys. more

I went to the Simon Cabaret on 24 May 2008 and took my Mum with me. This was my 2nd time to watch the show - the 1st was a few years ago with my husband and we had such a laugh and so much fun. Yes, the dancing is a bit ordinary. Yes, some look as though they are... more
