Thai Heritage Show: A Thai Market Night With Dancers in Phuket and Bangkok

We turn your venue into a traditional Thai market. Artisans work at their stalls, carving fruit, painting umbrellas, carving leather puppets, making Thai sweets and flower garlands, while Thai dancers perform through the evening.

The perfect setting for a welcome or gala dinner, in Phuket, Bangkok and across Thailand.

The concept

Your Venue, Turned Into a Thai Market

Instead of a show that guests only watch, the Thai Heritage Show surrounds them with Thai culture. As guests arrive they stroll between market stalls lit with lanterns, watch artisans at work, taste Thai sweets and street food and take home something made in front of them.

Each stall is run by a craftsperson: a fruit carver turning watermelons into flowers, painters decorating paper umbrellas in the style of northern Thailand, an artist carving leather shadow puppets, sweet makers, and garland makers threading jasmine and orchids. Guests can join in, and many leave with a painted umbrella, a mask or a garland.

What Happens at a Thai Heritage Night

Thai market welcome

Craft and sweet stalls around the cocktail area as guests arrive.

Market dinner

Stalls and Thai street food stations through dinner, with dancers between courses.

Dancers and finale

Thai dancers perform during dinner, with a bamboo dance guests can try.

Hands-on crafts

Guests paint umbrellas or masks and make garlands to take home.

Décor and stage

Thai Themed Décor for the Room and Stage

We style the whole space to match the theme, so guests feel they have stepped into old Siam from the moment they arrive. Draped fabrics in jewel colours, hanging paper umbrellas and lanterns, tropical flowers and Thai-style table centrepieces turn a ballroom or lawn into a Thai market.

The stage is dressed to frame the Thai dancers, with a draped backdrop, uplighting and floral arrangements that work for the show and for photos.

  • Stage backdrop and draping for the dancers
  • Hanging paper umbrellas, lanterns and parasols
  • Thai floral centrepieces and table styling
  • Market stalls dressed with silk, baskets and flowers

Entrance and photo spots

A Thai Welcome Entrance and Photo Spots

The theme starts at the door. We build a welcome entrance and photo backdrops with draped fabric, bamboo, painted umbrellas and orchids, so every guest's first photo of the night says Thailand.

Photobooth

Thai Inspired Photobooth With Thai Dancers

Our Thai inspired photobooth is one of the most popular moments of the night. Guests pose in front of a golden Thai backdrop with dancers in full costume and crowns, greeting the camera with a wai.

Photos can be printed on the spot with your event logo or shared digitally, so every guest takes home a souvenir of the evening.

  • Thai dancers in costume posing with guests
  • Instant prints or digital sharing with your logo

Planning

What We Need at the Venue

A market night takes a little more space than a stage show. We plan these points with you and the venue:

  • Space for the stalls around the dinner area (each stall about 2 x 2 metres)
  • Tables, power and soft lighting for each stall (we can supply them)
  • A stage or open area for the Thai dancers and bamboo dance
  • Sound system for the traditional music
  • Shelter for the stalls if the dinner is outdoors

FAQ

Thai Heritage Show: FAQ

What is included in the Thai Heritage Show?

A Thai market set-up with artisan stalls (fruit carving, umbrella painting, leather puppet carving, Thai sweets, garland making and more) plus Thai dancers performing during dinner. We tailor the stalls to your guest numbers.

Can guests take part in the crafts?

Yes. Guests can paint an umbrella or a mask, thread a garland or try a bamboo dance, and keep what they make.

Can you add Thai street food?

Yes. Thai street food and dessert stations fit naturally into the market and can be arranged with your venue's chef.

How is this different from the traditional Thai dance show?

The traditional Thai dance show is a stage performance. The Heritage Show turns the whole venue into a Thai market with craft stalls, food and dancers.

How far in advance should we book?

Two to four weeks is usually enough for a Thai heritage show. For December to April in Phuket, Songkran, Chinese New Year and other peak dates, book as early as possible to secure your preferred performers.
