Calypso Cabaret, also known as Calypso 1988, is one of Bangkok’s most iconic and long-running cabaret shows, established in 1988. Originally held in a small theater on Sukhumvit Road, it has grown into a polished, large-scale production now located at Asiatique The Riverfront, a lively riverside night market and entertainment complex. The show features a dazzling mix of song, dance, and impersonation, performed by a talented cast of transgender performers (kathoey) known for their charisma, glamour, and intricate costumes. Audiences are treated to an hour-long performance that blends Western pop culture, Thai traditions, comedy, and high-energy choreography. Unlike some nightlife experiences, Calypso is considered family-friendly and culturally respectful, making it a popular choice for tourists from around the world. With its mix of entertainment and cultural expression, Calypso Cabaret remains a unique and celebrated part of Bangkok's night scene.
