Carnival Magic Phuket is a 40-acre nighttime Thai carnival theme park, often called the Magical Kingdom of Lights. Located on Kamala Beach, right next to Phuket Fantasea, this park has quickly become a must-see destination for anyone visiting Phuket. Carnival Magic offers a unique blend of Thai culture, entertainment, and technology, with many attractions that have set world records and cannot be found anywhere else.

At the Carnival Fun Fair, visitors can indulge in shopping for high-quality products, enjoy all-night carnival performances and fun activities, all within a festive and celebratory atmosphere created by a vast array of bright and colourful shops.

Carnival Fun Fair

As soon as we entered the Carnival Fun Fair zone, we were surrounded by a lively atmosphere filled with music, lights, and a sense of celebration. The streets are lined with colourful shops selling a wide range of quality products and souvenirs. There are games, fun activities, and live performances happening throughout the evening, making the whole area feel like a traditional Thai festival brought to life. The park is divided into four main zones, and the Fun Fair is the perfect place to start, especially for families and groups looking to enjoy the festive spirit together.

Bird of Paradise Buffet

The Bird of Paradise Buffet Restaurant is one of the largest dining halls I have seen, with a seating capacity for 3,000 guests. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, featuring two giant peacocks at the entrance, and the interior is designed to look like a paradise garden. The buffet offers more than 100 dishes, covering Thai, Indian, Western, vegetarian, and Halal options. I appreciated the variety, as it caters to many dietary needs and preferences. The restaurant is fully air-conditioned, making it a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy a meal before exploring more of the park.

The River Palace

The River Palace is a massive indoor theatre, covering 16,000 square metres and seating over 2,200 spectators. The highlight here is the River Carnival, the world’s largest indoor parade show. The production lasts about 50 minutes and features more than 88 gigantic parade floats, with some costumes reaching up to 8 metres tall. The show combines elements of fantasy, Thai festivals, and traditional parades, all enhanced with modern technology, special effects, and millions of lights. The most impressive float is over 70 metres long, about the size of an Airbus A380, making it a real spectacle for visitors of all ages.

The Kingdom of Lights

The Kingdom of Lights is an illumination park that features over 40 million lights, creating a magical landscape that feels almost unreal. Walking through this area, we saw glowing sculptures, illuminated gardens, and themed displays that sparked everyone’s imagination. The River of Lights is the centrepiece, where millions of lights are installed on special steel plates called “luminaries.” The entire zone is divided into nine areas, each with its own theme and style, making it easy to spend a lot of time just wandering and taking photos.

World Records and Unique Attractions

Carnival Magic Phuket is proud to hold nine Guinness World Records, including the world’s largest popcorn machine, the largest LED sculpture, the largest papier mache sculpture, and the most lights used in a permanent light and sound show. Other records include the largest outdoor chandelier and the most LED lights on a van. These achievements are not just for show—they add to the sense of wonder and excitement throughout the park. Families, couples, and solo travellers will all find something memorable here, whether it’s the dazzling light displays, the grand parade, or the unique shopping and dining experiences.

Carnival Magic Phuket has quickly earned its reputation as the crowning jewel of Phuket’s nighttime entertainment, blending Thai culture, creativity, and technology into an unforgettable experience.

A night at Carnival Magic lasts about four hours, and the organisers advise pre-booking online to secure seats for the River Carnival. Shuttle vans collect guests from most hotels in the Kata, Karon, Patong and Phuket Town areas, so reaching Kamala is easy even if you do not drive. For travellers looking to add one bright, modern cultural experience to their Phuket trip, this park gives them plenty to remember without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
