A little Thai experience...

FantaSea
One of my most treasured, memorable memories of Thailand is going to FantaSea! My expectations were completely wrong and this magical place took me by surprise and the ending resulted in me falling in love with Thailand! FantaSea is a cultural experience based theme park, although very different to our theme parks where we have rides, Fantasea gave the opportunity for tourists to experience and learn all about the Thai culture. The place was decorated so beautifully, with gardens, waterfalls and statues filled with gold, silver and red colours. First off there was a walk through museum-like tour where we saw tigers and got to pat the adorable baby elephants, along with other native animals to Thailand. Outside there was many game attractions, similar to a carnival/show. We walked into the Golden Kinnaree which is the worlds greatest buffet restaurant, Mum and I booked VIP tickets therefore we got a special VIP only room. They supplied Thai and some other international foods, it was delicious. The buffet room glittered with silver, I was astonished by the beauty of the artwork. The main event of Fantasea is the traditional theatre performance, held in the Palace of the Elephants. I was very eager to learn about Thai culture and might I say WOW! The performance told the story of a young boy Kamala and the way his people were created and how they lived. The show was full of so many amazing qualities, especially how trained the animals were, with a special mention to the 14 or so elephants that blew my mind. I left Fantasea with a whole new perception on the Thai culture, it was then that I fell in love with this beautiful place.
