Bluedragon Cabaret — Restaurant in Krabi Province

This place is located on the third floor of the building after walking past the bars and up the escalator. Show tickets cost 500 baht per pax if you did not book online prior to the show. The ladymen were generally good dancers and took turns performing throughout the entire 1 hr duration. There were numerous varieties of costumes and props that they changed into to suit the songs they lipsync-ed to. I would have rated this show better if not for the following event.

Why I gave one star was because of the post-show photograph with the ladymen. I felt it unfair and unethical for not informing the audience that photographs with the performing ladymen who waited outside the area after show cost 100 baht per person. The ladymen stood outside and cornered the audience to encourage photographs with them and then telling us to pay up after the photographs were taken. This was an unpleasant surprise for me and I would have given it a pass if I had known. If you tried to bargain your way out of this, they will shoot ugly looks and become rather aggressive. This ruined my entire experience and I would never want to go for such...

If you accept it for what it is, a bit of light fun, you will have no problem with the Blue Dragon. The place is small with structural pillars in very inconvenient positions among the seating. The seats are simple and hard plastic but at least they get taller towards the back and you only have to suffer them for an hour. The first five minutes of the show comprises some music and a spotlight alternating between two "no photography" signs. But then the "girls" come on and you are treated to an hour of tongue in cheek fun. Admittedly, some of the girls look a little awkward and the choreography is very stiff, but sit back and try to figure out if any of them are really girls. Not as easy as you might think...... At the end of the show the girls rush out first so that you then have to run a gauntlet through the foyer. They try very strongly (very strongly for girls) to get you to take pictures of and with them. They charge for this service. Our policy was to deny having a camera and they left us alone. I recommend the experience overall but don't expect too much. It's...

I don’t usually enjoy cabaret shows, so I went in with pretty low expectations, just for the experience. The stage was closer than I expected, which sort of help pull you into the performances. Introverts that we are, my friend and me actually gave up our front row seats to watch in the second row instead, for fear of being called out.

The general theme of the show is singing and dancing popular songs that are representative of different countries. The songs also follow a loose timeline from the 80s to the 90s. My friend enjoyed the performance of the Japanese geisha with exaggerated expressions, while nothing really stands out for me. At the end of the show, one of the audience was invited to the stage for a catchy version of Happy Birthday because it’s his cake day. Throughout the whole experience, the performers are lively on stage and perform enthusiastically.

When we walked out of the theatre, there were no incessant tip-begging like some of the earlier comments, which relieved us. I did give a tip though, for their professionalism more than...
