Shows & musicals
Alcazar Co., Ltd. or broadly known as Alcazar Cabaret, was established on November 8th, 1981. Originally, with about 100 performers and staff, the former Alcazar’s theater had a capacity of only 350 seats which was not enough to welcome domestic and foreign visitors. Therefore, our new, grand and modern architectural theater with state-of-the-art light and sound systems and a capacity over 1,000 seats has opened its doors for visitors from all over the world since February 9th, 1990. Nowadays, “Alcazar” is globally famous with the reputation of being the best transvestite cabaret show in Thailand.

Thai riverside lifestyle
Visit one of the largest man made floating markets in the world and discover everything from traditional handmade toys, silverware, textiles, to little boutiques. Shop for fruits and vegetables at the market stalls, or savour Thai delicacies and snacks prepared by locals. If you're up for it, you might even want to try the crocodile satay! Opt for the row boat rental and paddle your way through the market like one of the water vendors. In the afternoon, cultural shows such as sea boxing and dancing occur at different parts of the market which you can enjoy. If you need a little TLC, you can even get a traditional Thai head, foot, or facial massage before you continue exploring the magic of Pattaya.

Snorkeling
Visit the underwater world between Chaung and Chan Islands while in Pattaya when you join this snorkeling activity! Get to meet the famous clownfish species, as seen in the hit double-feature 'Finding Nemo'. Start your day with a convenient hotel pick up from Pattaya, then proceed to the pier for your speedboat transfer. Arrive at the snorkeling spots just an hour after lunch and enjoy swimming for the next 3 hours. See a thriving marine life abundant in sea creatures and colorful corals as you snorkel deeper into the ocean floor. Get your photos taken while schools of fish surround you, or opt for creative poses while underwater. Head back to the speeboat for a timely shower at the pier and arrive at your hotel as the sun shines its last lights on the islands.
