MY Holiday Centre's package is the Carnival Magic Phuket ticket most people should book: park entry, a buffet dinner at Bird of Paradise and a shared round-trip hotel transfer, for less than Oh-Hoo's similar package when we checked GetYourGuide in October 2026. The catch: the transfer runs only from selected Phuket areas, and there's no pay-later option. Carnival Magic Phuket is an evening theme park in Kamala, beside Phuket FantaSea, Nation Thailand reports – not the Carnival cruise ship.
Carnival Magic with dinner and hotel transfer
MY Holiday Centre's package: park entry, a buffet dinner at Bird of Paradise and a shared round-trip hotel transfer from selected areas. Royal Seat is an option; free cancellation up to 24 hours.
- Duration: 6 h
- Minivan
- Hotel pickup: Included from some areas
Which Carnival Magic Phuket ticket should you book?
All five tickets are for an evening at the same park; what differs is whether dinner and a hotel transfer are in the price, which seat you get, and whether you can get your money back. Two are dinner-and-transfer packages, two are entry tickets with an optional transfer, and one has no transfer at all.
Book MY Holiday Centre's package for dinner and a ride at the lower of the two package prices, and Oh-Hoo's package if you'd rather reserve now and pay later. Oh-Hoo's entry ticket suits you if you want a transfer but not the buffet. GlobalTix's ticket has the lowest starting price of the five but can't be refunded, and Travel Bays' entry-only ticket is the one with insurance included.

Best all-round evening: MY Holiday Centre's package with dinner and transfer
MY Holiday Centre's package puts park entry, a buffet dinner at Bird of Paradise Restaurant and a shared round-trip hotel transfer into one price, lower than Oh-Hoo's dinner-and-transfer package when we checked. The listing names what the ticket opens: the Carnival Fair, the River Palace Theater show, the River Carnival Parade and the Kingdom of Lights.
You get a standard show seat; a Royal Seat comes only if you select that option or buy it as an add-on. The van takes about 45 minutes to the park, and the itinerary gives about 4 hours there for dinner, sightseeing, a dance show and a traditional dance show.
Children get a magic wand, collected at the Carnivalistic Kid's Club rather than from the driver, and a child car seat is free on request, subject to availability.
The catch is the transfer: it's shared and runs only from selected Phuket areas, which the listing doesn't name, and pickup outside the included zone isn't covered; a private transfer is an add-on. Check that your hotel is covered before you pay, then send your hotel name and phone number after booking. Skip it if you want to reserve now and pay later – Oh-Hoo's package offers that.

Dinner and transfer with pay later: Oh-Hoo's package
Oh-Hoo's package pairs hotel pickup and drop-off with a buffet dinner, and of the two packages it's the one you can reserve now and pay later. Its inclusion list names only those two items; the highlights say a ticket comes with the transfer and point to the River Carnival Parade at the River Palace Paradium.
The listing doesn't name its pickup areas – it says to check availability for details – and it doesn't mention a Royal Seat. It asks you to bring cash.
Skip it if you want a Royal Seat or the lower package price – MY Holiday Centre's package offers both, though without pay later.

Transfer but no dinner: Oh-Hoo's entry ticket with a transfer option
Oh-Hoo's entry ticket is for travellers who want a ride but not the buffet: meals and beverages are excluded, and round-trip hotel transfers come only with the inclusive-transfer option. An English-speaking guide is included, and the ticket cost less than both dinner packages when we checked.
Infants aged 1–3 pay extra for the transfer, and the listing asks you to bring cash. Skip it if you want dinner sorted in advance – the two packages above include the buffet.

The lowest starting price, but non-refundable: GlobalTix's entry ticket
GlobalTix's ticket has the lowest starting price of the five, but the listing says the activity is non-refundable, and the ticket is valid only for the date you select. The base ticket covers park entry and the River Carnival Parade show, which the listing puts at about 50 minutes; a buffet dinner, a Royal Seat and a round-trip shared transfer in Phuket come only in selected options.
Go straight to the attraction entrance and show your voucher – the listing carries a skip-the-ticket-line badge and a wheelchair-accessible one. Once you leave the park, you can't re-enter, and an infant's transfer costs extra and needs a paid infant car seat.
Skip it if your plans could change: Oh-Hoo's entry ticket and Travel Bays' both offer free cancellation.

Entry only, insurance included: Travel Bays' ticket
Travel Bays' ticket is entry only – no dinner, no transfer – but it's the one of the five that lists insurance as an inclusion, and you can cancel for free. It covers entry and the shows and performances at the River Palace Paradium; the buffet dinner is an upgrade at extra charge, and alcoholic drinks are excluded.
You meet at Carnival Magic itself, and the listing gives the visit 4 hours. A host or greeter speaks English, Chinese or Thai, and the listing carries skip-the-ticket-line and wheelchair-accessible badges.
The listing says it isn't suitable for babies under 1, and pets, flash photography and audio recording aren't allowed. Skip it if price decides it – Oh-Hoo's entry ticket cost less when we checked and also offers free cancellation.

How much does a Carnival Magic Phuket ticket cost, and what does the price leave out?
Adult prices on GetYourGuide for these five Carnival Magic Phuket tickets ran from ~THB 2,300 to ~THB 3,300 when we checked in October 2026, from GlobalTix's base entry ticket to Oh-Hoo's dinner-and-transfer package. The cheaper tickets leave out dinner and the transfer, so add those before you compare, and check the live price for your date.
- Dinner: included in MY Holiday Centre's and Oh-Hoo's packages, an option on GlobalTix's ticket, and excluded on Oh-Hoo's entry ticket and Travel Bays'.
- Transfer: included in both packages, an option on Oh-Hoo's entry ticket and GlobalTix's, and excluded on Travel Bays'.
- Royal Seat: an option or add-on on MY Holiday Centre's package, and an option on GlobalTix's ticket.
- Infants' transfer: ~THB 350–450 extra on two listings – Oh-Hoo's entry ticket, for infants aged 1–3, and GlobalTix's, which also requires a paid infant car seat.
- Tips and spending money: MY Holiday Centre excludes tips, personal expenses, souvenirs and photo services; Oh-Hoo's entry ticket and GlobalTix's exclude personal expenses. Both Oh-Hoo listings say to bring cash.
- Children: GlobalTix lets infants aged 0–4 and under 100 cm in free without a seat, with the child rate for 101–140 cm and the adult rate above 140 cm. Both Oh-Hoo listings sell infant tickets for ages 1–3 (on a parent's lap) and child tickets for ages 4–10, and children under 100 cm see the show free if they share a parent's seat. Travel Bays' ticket isn't suitable for babies under 1.
No listing shows a child price in its headline, so choose the child option at checkout.
What is Carnival Magic Phuket, and how long should you stay?
Carnival Magic is a Thai carnival theme park in Kamala, next to Phuket FantaSea, and it opened in September 2022, according to Nation Thailand. It has four main zones: the Carnival Fun Fair, a shopping street with shows, games and rides; the Bird of Paradise Buffet Restaurant; River Palace, an indoor theatre hosting the River Carnival parade show; and Kingdom of Lights, an illumination park.
Plan on a whole evening: MY Holiday Centre's package and both Oh-Hoo listings, which include or offer a transfer, give 6 hours, and Travel Bays' entry-only ticket gives 4. GlobalTix's listing says there's no re-entry once you leave, so eat, shop and see the parade in one visit.
Is Carnival Magic Phuket open every night, and what time does it start?
Carnival Magic is an evening park, and the listings we checked don't agree on which days it opens or when the parade starts. Pick your date in the booking calendar and read the times on your own ticket rather than on a listing.
If your ticket includes a transfer, MY Holiday Centre's listing says the pickup time depends on your hotel's location and traffic. Travel Bays' listing says the evening takes place rain or shine.
Carnival Magic or FantaSea?
The two are next door to each other in Kamala, and Nation Thailand reported in 2022 that the same executive led both Phuket FantaSea Public Co. Ltd. and Carnival Magic Co., Ltd. They make for different evenings.
Choose Carnival Magic for a carnival evening across four zones – a fun fair, a buffet restaurant, an indoor parade show and an illumination park – with a River Carnival Parade of about 50 minutes on GlobalTix's listing. Choose FantaSea for a single theatre show: a GetYourGuide listing describes a 70-minute "Fantasy of a Kingdom" show with an optional buffet at the Golden Kinnaree, and says cameras aren't permitted inside the theatre.
Neither is better on paper: pick by what you want to watch.
Which Carnival Magic Phuket ticket is right for you?
Book MY Holiday Centre's package for dinner and a ride at the lower package price; if you'll eat elsewhere or make your own way there, pick a refundable entry ticket.
Carnival Magic takes up an evening, which leaves your days free. For a different night out, compare Simon Cabaret tickets in Phuket, and for daytime ideas see every Phuket tour we've compared.
