About this activity

Calypso Cabaret is Bangkok's longest-running transgender cabaret show, delivering 50 minutes of high-energy performances spanning classic icons (Elvis, Marilyn Monroe) to contemporary pop stars. A cultural landmark since the 1990s, it offers an authentic slice of Bangkok nightlife with world-class production value and artistry.

Bangkok's Calypso Cabaret has showcased the unique flair and astonishing beauty of these Thai performing artists since it was first created more than 25 years ago. If you are seeking something beyond the mainstream, then this cabaret show featuring talented transgender performers is your ticket! 

Make your way from your hotel to the Calypso Theatre at Asiatique to enjoy a colourful evening of cabaret, Bangkok-style. With your choice of an early or late evening show, settle in at your lamp-lit table for an outstanding presentation as the stage sparkles with lively music, dance and entertainment. 

The cabaret opens with glittery evening gowns on display, and includes acts from burlesque performers to the traditional dances of the geisha. Watch an Elvis impersonator with his ‘groupies,’ see the incredible Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe come to life and be entertained by some classic, old-time favorites. That said, these talented performers will also bring the likes of Lady Gaga and Beyonce to the stage.

By the time the finale comes around, you won't want the show to end.
