Does anyone know a great traditional Thai dance troope on Phuket? Our 5 star resort will be holding a Thai night once a week (night flexible). I'd love to find a great group with accompanying traditional music (not electrified).

I saw a show previously where the band dressed in Hawaiian shirts and played guitar. It was totally out of place.

Well, katoy dancers and employees seem to be very popular amongst tourist, bar owners and alikes. Why not?

Not!

I really hope that you and other new entrepreneurs not follow that trend, it will lead Phuket nowhere at all.

Use real thai ladies, natural beauty as they are.

Good luck

Agree. Our intention is to make the show as authentic as possible. No electronics but traditional music and dancing.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks very much everybody. This is a great help.

Have a great day.

The band you want were in Soi Sukhumvit/Moodie last night playing Issan type music with 5 ladies dancing in full traditional costume. Very good.
