That is close to home. Glad everyone is okay.

Never been there, but looking at the photo it looks like the whole place has been on fire !

This would be my worst nightmare a night at Phuket Fantasea, very 60's entertainment....

But I am sure the Chinese are loving it....

Glad that no one was hurt. It always fills me with sadness when I see businesses where someone really made and effort to create something special is going up in smoke or (even worse) does not work out as planned. I have deepest respect for all those investors who do things like Fantasea, upside down house, water parks, etc. - yes, they of course do it to for money reasons, but they also enrich our lives with a lot of more options. Felt like thanking the lord on my knees when the first cinema in Phuket opened up with English soundtrack loooong time ago - it felt like heaven!
