Great experience
Our guide Cat was very knowledgeable about the various types of foods that we tasted. She also gave us the history of Thai culture, specifically the people and the food. I would highly recommend this tour. If you go in the morning, don't eat breakfast because you won't be able to enjoy all the delicious food.
Operator response
Dear Guest, thank you so much for this amazing review!We're thrilled to hear you loved the delicious food and the cultural stories behind it. Guide Cat will be so happy to hear your kind words - she is truly passionate about Thai food and Thai culture, and loves sharing it with our guests.And thank you for the great tip for future guests: "Don't eat breakfast!" The buffet at Carnival Magic is huge with so many choices, you definitely want to come hungry.So glad you enjoyed the experience and we really appreciate your high recommendation!

Weirdest toilets I’ve ever seen! Great family fun!
I didn’t know what to expect from this place. Initially it felt like a bit of a tourist trap with some small kids rides and shops however it definitely wasn’t. The main show was amazing, buildings were very ornate, the bathrooms were just CRAZY and the light show is pretty but a long walk. All in all we spent 4.5 hours there. Would recommend
Operator response
Thanks for sharing your honest experience! Sounds like you were pleasantly surprised - glad the main show and buildings wazed you , and the bathrooms were a highlight! Appreciate the recommendation, and thanks for the heads up on the light show walk. Looking forward to welcoming you back!

Amazing!
To do absolutely!
We're taking a lot of eyes off it!
Choose the formula from 5.30pm to 11pm because lap is to see, it's the race but it's amazing

Disappointing Experience
The advertising for the event did not stipulate the amount to be paid was in US dollars!
The. Buffet dinner was less than impressive, all the food was cold except for one dish and all the meat in said dishes was tough and largely inedible!!
All deserts ie cakes while looking beautiful, were very dried out and some were hard from being displayed for a long time rendering them inedible!
Overall a very expensive and not so enjoyable experience after being recommended by another family member!
We didn’t get to see the lighting display which is reported highlight unfortunately!

The feeling is sensational when you enter
This place is Disneyland of Thailand minus the rides. The insane amount of weight and the amount of workers that they have there is crazy.
It’s the coolest place I’ve ever been and I’m obsessed with carnivals. I have a full carnival sleeve.
I didn’t get to see the light show because of a tour we had the following day. We had to leave a little bit early but the parade they have inside the Royal Palace is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
Operator response
"Wow, what an incredible review! Comparing us to the 'Disneyland of Thailand minus the rides' is the highest compliment, especially coming from an obsessed carnival fan like yourself—we love hearing that! We're so proud that the Royal Palace parade was the 'most amazing thing' you've ever seen. We’ll certainly be sure to pass along your comments about the immense effort and the number of workers. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm, and we hope you can catch the light show on your next visit!"

Good to go with family
We all really loved it. It's really new experience. Don't miss to check the toilet, each and every toilets are different theme. Go early so you won't miss anything. They gave us with transportation and its worth going. 7.15pm there will be a parade so finish your dinner before that. All child ticket gets free gift and its really good for kids.
