PHUKET: Simon Cabaret, Phuket's famous katoey ladyboy show, is opening another branch in Phuket City, on the opposite side of the island to the Patong original.
Owner Wirat Ruayrin joined some of the performers today at the Metropole Hotel in announcing the grand opening on Thursday night, when Phuket Governor Tri Augkaradacha is expected to do the honors.
While Khun Wirat admits that the performers, recruited from Isarn and Chiang Mai for the show, need another month to polish their act, she sees Simon Star as being every bit as appealing as its Patong equivalent.
The stage is wider and the Phuket City threatre, built to seat 645 and with provision for people to eat dinner if they wish, cost 120-130 million baht.
Three shows will be held nightly at 6pm, 7.45pm and 9.30pm.
Khun Wirat said the two shows were different and the Phuket City version, close to Rajabhat University, was choreographed more with Asian visitors in mind.
A special promotion for southern Thailand is available at 200 baht a seat until February 28, with expat rates at 700 baht for an ordinary seat or 800 baht for a VIP seat.
Thais are half price and there are no reductions for children.
The address is 52/11 Moo 6, Rassada, or online at simonstarshow.com Telephone: 076 523196

Visitors from other Asian countries would have to pay the same price as all expats, so it's discrimination, not racism.
