Khantoke Dinner

Your Khantoke Dinner Chiang Mai will be an unforgettable evening of traditional Northern Thai food, dance and music. This is a serious exposition of Northern Thai culture with attention to authentic music, dance and costumes – popular with both Thai and foreign visitors.

You have the option of sitting on the floor (with comfortable cushions), or sitting at a low table with excavated leg room. The floor seating is closest to the performances.
