Aquariums;Aquarium SuppliesIt's not about the ladyboys, they're all beautiful and put an enourmous effort into their appearance. It's about the choreographers, writers and directors of the show. This is hit and miss in Thailand, with more of the latter with the prior incarnations Simon Cabaret and Playhouse. The new Chiang Mai Cabaret Theatre may doing things right and for the entrance fee (200 Baht including a drink), it's an absolute bargain.
