A night out at Calypso cabaret is a fun experience for young and old and a good break from Bangkok city sightseeing.
Trans gender artists or “ladyboys”, some of them so beautiful that it is easy to forget that they are not real girls, perform a Las Vegas style show with lots of glitz and glamour, hair pieces and ostrich feathers.
Watch the ladyboys wearing beautiful gowns and costumes perform a series of acts and dances on a large stage.
The stepped seating of the air-conditioned theater allows everyone a good view of the stage. The red interior with small tables with lamps reminds of the Parisian cabarets of a previous era.
The Calypso theater is located at Asiatique, a riverside shopping, dining and entertainment complex easily accessible by Chao Phraya river boat.
Mix of drama, comedy, modern and traditional music
The show featuring 70 performers performing 15 acts takes about 70 minutes.
The acts are a good mix of drama, comedy, modern and traditional music. Some of them are designed to appeal to nationalities in the audience like the Chinese and Korean acts, while there is meaning in others, like the “Free your mind” act.
Among the acts are “The King” Elvis Presley, a lovely Chinese ballad, a very energetic Beyoncé, Lady Gaga accompanied by violin music, the En Vogue song “Free your mind”, a Japanese song called Geisha, Marilyn Monroe, Della, Hava Nagilla, Stuff, The flow of the river, All that Jazz and Arirang, a Korean folk song with the performers wearing beautiful and colorful traditional Korean dresses.
The show ends with the Grand Finale, where all performers appear on stage in gowns and tails. After the show the performers line up near the exit where you can take your photo with them and give a tip if you want.
Before the cabaret show there is Thai dinner and dance at the Calypso restaurant. While enjoying Thai dishes visitors can watch several dance shows including a Khon dance show, a drama dance traditionally performed for the Royal court. The dances performed by elegant dancers wearing traditional costumes tell stories from a famous Thai epic.
