Full description
Blue Dragon was the first cabaret theatre to open in Krabi and it still sets the standard. The format is Thai cabaret in its classic form: a cast of transgender performers, elaborate costume changes and a run of numbers that swings from Bollywood to K-pop to power ballads, all delivered with a confidence that carries the room.
The production values are the surprise. Costumes are hand-beaded and genuinely extravagant, the lighting rig is properly used, and the choreography is tight rather than casual. Numbers move quickly enough that the hour is over before you notice, and the cast play to the audience throughout, so front rows should expect to be involved.
Your ticket covers reserved seating in the air-conditioned theatre. Performers come out to the lobby afterwards for photographs, a Krabi evening tradition and a nice way to end the night before heading back out onto Ao Nang's main strip for dinner or a drink.

Detailed Itinerary
Doors open about half an hour before curtain, so arriving around 18:30 gives you time to exchange your booking for a ticket at the box office and find your reserved seat without rushing. The auditorium is compact and air-conditioned, and there is no bad sightline in it.
The show itself starts at 19:00 and runs a tight hour. It opens big, cycles through Thai classics, Western pop and K-pop routines, and drops in comedy sketches between the larger production numbers to let the cast change costume. Expect several performers to work the aisles, which is part of the fun if you are seated near the front.
When the curtain falls around 20:00 the cast head out to the lobby for photographs, usually for fifteen or twenty minutes. Ao Nang's restaurants and beach road bars are a two-minute walk away.

Traveler Reviews
An hour of very polished lip-sync and costume changes, and the sequinned headdresses in the opening number were genuinely spectacular. Reserved seating meant we were four rows back with a clear view. Family friendly and a nice change from another beach evening.
Blue Dragon is small so even the back rows are close to the stage. The performers work incredibly hard, ten or so numbers with full costume changes between each. Photos with the cast afterwards are free but a small tip is appreciated.
A good show for the price and the performers are talented. It is only an hour so plan dinner around it rather than treating it as the whole evening. Arrive fifteen minutes early because the reserved seats are allocated on arrival.
We took my parents and all four of us enjoyed it. The music mixes Thai pop with Western numbers so there is something familiar throughout. Drinks are bought separately at the bar inside.
Entertaining and very well costumed, though the venue is warm and the air conditioning struggles when it is full. Central Ao Nang location so easy to walk to from most hotels. Worth the ticket price for an hour of good stagecraft.
