    Calypso Cabaret Show

    A really amazing show at Calypso Cabaret. Everything is so professional and polished. The performers look to have so much fun and enjoy their routines. The costumes, electronic backdrops and the music were all outstanding & first class. And the whole theater is so modern and inviting with good viewing for everyone. I can certainly recommend Calypso Cabaret for a fun night out and the price is very good also.

    LaBelle

    The Calypso Cabaret at Asiatique Riverfront is absolutely awesome. The cast is very beautiful and the music, dancing and lip syncing is great. I’ve seen the show 3 times since 2019. However, I find the segment with Patti LaBelle to be very offensive and degrading. In the show Patti LaBelle is depicted as a clown like character with a bad hair-do, horrible costume and extremely bad clown makeup. This character needs a complete makeover. I am not sure why the show’s producer decided to depict the LEGENDARY Patti LaBelle in this manner but I find it degrading. Ms. LaBelle is a classy, sophisticated and beautiful REAL woman with extraordinary talent, who in no way resembles a clown. All of the other characters in the show are extremely beautiful except the one female black character who portrays Patti LaBelle. What’s the message here?

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and for your long-standing loyalty to the show. We are glad the dancing and performances continue to impress you. Regarding your feedback on the Patti LaBelle tribute: please be assured that your perspective has been noted. We strive to celebrate icons through parody, but we understand your concerns regarding how this segment is perceived and will discuss this with our creative directors. In the future, please feel free to request a word with the manager on the night of your visit; we find that immediate, face-to-face feedback is the best way for us to understand and act on our guests' remarks. We value your input and hope to see you again for another visit. Regards. Paul

    Response from the operator: Dear Michael, Thank you so much for the "brilliant" feedback! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the non-stop energy and the variety of our performances. We take it as a huge compliment that you wanted even more—time certainly flies when you’re having fun! We hope to welcome you back for another dazzling evening soon.

    Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.

    How much does Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.

    Is Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 93 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances?

    +

    Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Calypso Cabaret: Dazzling Lights & Performances start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bangkok?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Must-Try: Hidden Bangkok Bike and Food Tour, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour, Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bangkok?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bangkok?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
