Explore Carnival Magic: a theme park with 9 Guinness World Record Titles

Carnival Magic, the world’s first Thai carnival-themed park, opened its doors in Phuket in September 2022. What’s behind the door is beyond what you can ever imagine- as the sun sets, the grounds come alive with vibrant celebration – a dazzling array of lights, music and dance- from traditional Thai dances and costumes to grand pageantry of the parades and processions.
