A lion dance brings luck, energy and noise to your event. Two dancers bring each lion to life to the beat of drums, cymbals and gongs, chasing away bad luck and welcoming good fortune.
Popular for openings, Chinese New Year and celebrations in Phuket, Bangkok and across Thailand.
In Chinese tradition the lion is a symbol of courage and good fortune. A lion dance is performed to bless a new business, a new year or a happy occasion, and the noise of the drums and cymbals is said to scare away bad spirits.
Thailand has large Chinese communities, from Bangkok's Yaowarat (Chinatown) to Phuket's Hokkien heritage in the Old Town, so lion dances are a familiar and welcome sight. A highlight is the cai qing, when the lion 'eats' green leaves and a red envelope and scatters them for luck.
One or two lions with a drum team, for openings and parties.
Acrobatic lions leaping across high poles, for big stages and outdoor events.
A lion dance combined with a long Chinese dragon dance.
Lions visit guests and tables, with red envelopes for luck.
Book a lion dance whenever you want to start something with good luck.

"Outstanding team. Highly recommended for events in Bangkok! I had an excellent experience working with Phuket Event Company for a corporate event in Bangkok. From the beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, flexible and solution-oriented."
"Very well organised, it has set the benchmark for all others to come: beautiful hotel, amazing AV equipment, efficient organisation support from a very experienced team. They really get involved with the group, keeping morale high."
"Right from the contact stage, pre- and post-event, they remained professional throughout. The team takes the time to understand our needs and recommends what's best for a successful event: creative, fun, honest and reliable, and never once unreachable."
"I had the chance to work alongside talented Shawn and his team. I highly recommend him for any grand events: great organiser, trustworthy and very professional."
The lion dance is believed to bring good luck and drive away bad spirits, so it is a traditional way to open a new business.
A typical performance lasts 10 to 20 minutes, longer if the lions visit several areas.
In a pole (jong) show, the lions leap between high poles. It is the most acrobatic form and needs space and set-up time.
Yes, but dates around Chinese New Year book out early, so contact us well in advance.
Two to four weeks is usually enough for a lion dance. For December to April in Phuket, Songkran, Chinese New Year and other peak dates, book as early as possible to secure your preferred performers.
