Just show up. We are an open and radically inclusive circus. We accept all people of regardless of race, age, origin, orientation or skill level. We have a brief onboarding process in order to perform.

First step, make it to Paradise. 

Do you have rooms/Are you a hostel?

Prior to 2020 Paradise was a hostel, however, we no longer offer accommodations. 

Are you the same as Circus Hostel?

We are a different business than Circus Hostel.

How often do you do Fire Shows?

We have hosted Circus Shows for nearly a decade on Thursday and Sunday at 8:30 pm. Rain or shine the show will go on.

Is there a ticket for the shows?

We rotate between a ticketed/non-ticketed show depending on the season. Paradise has been reaching capacity during our shows and we are in the process of expanding the grounds to accommodate more than currently possible.

Where can I get tickets, and how much are they?

Tickets can be purchased at the door of Paradise. Ticket prices vary depending on what we're offering. Tickets prices are between 100-200 Thai baht. 

What other kinds of events do you have?

Paradise hosts a number of events year round. Our long-standing shows on Thursday and Sunday is a fire burlesque show. You can expect a variety of different performances on this night. 

 

Paradise holds daily flow jams and regular fire jams along side a full compliment of workshops based around a diverse community of facilitators.

 

 Paradise holds an open-mic stage before each show, open to anyone who would like to share their music, poetry, or whatever. 

Every Tuesday we have an open stage where community members can share whatever they are working on.

 

We host semi-regular events with live music, dj's, dancing and fire spinning. We post these events to our Instagram.

 

Additionally we have a music venue called The Grove. Located in Pai, it is a natural ampitheter surrounded by banana trees which is suited for retreats, festivals, concerts and much more. The Grove is equipped with a full bar, cafe and tea hut.

Can you provide me with work-visa, airfare or other accomodations if I perform with you?

Unfortunately we do not have the program or resources yet to accommodate these sorts of requests. Visiting Thailand and working in Thailand have very different requirements. You are welcome to perform with us, you have to be able to support yourself independently while doing so.

Can I work for you?

It is illegal to work in Thailand without a work-visa. Even volunteering in Thailand is not permitted without the right approval from the Kingdom of Thailand Immigration Office. You can find out more about visa requirements here.

Do you host workshops?

Paradise has a year round workshop schedule posted each week. In our schedule, you can find traditional; and contemporary circus skills, as well as flow-arts, dance, visual arts, acrobatics, yoga/acro yoga, health and well being.

How do I sign up for workshops?

Just observe the schedule, and attend a little before it begins. Have a coconut, stretch, and prepare to learn.

What are the fees for workshops?

Paradise hosts workshops for free. The workshop facilitators are compromised of community members sharing their skills with other members of the community.
