The fountain, located on the outskirts of central Phuket Town, cost 60 million baht to build and covers 1,000 square meters.


Phuket is now home to Thailand’s biggest musical fountain after a grand opening ceremony and premiere performance at Saphan Hin on Monday night.



More than 100 people turned up to see the first show.

Phuket Governor Tri Augkaradacha lauded the Phuket Provincial Administration Organization (OrBorJor) for creating a tourist attraction outside central Phuket Town, a factor he said would help develop tourism in Phuket and help keep Phuket Town “quiet”.

“There are very few other attractions like this just outside town. But the musical fountain will motivate people to visit and relax here,” he said.

The 60-million-baht fountain was built in honor of HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 84th birthday on December 5, said OrBorJor President Paiboon Upatising.

“The musical fountain can perform more than 100 patterns with LED lighting. It also has a high lumen projector to show videos on the curtains of water,” he added.

Covering a total area of 1,000 square meters, the fountain is considered the biggest musical fountain in Thailand, Mr Paiboon said.
