I went to this show and dinner tonight with a local from Chiang Mai/Lampang who loved it as much as I did. The shows are interesting and well performed and the food is authentic, very tasty and more than you could ever hope to eat. The cost is about $20; an absolute bargain and includes transport to and from where... More

There are about five of six places in Chiang Mai you can choose to experience a Khantoke Dinner and traditional dancing. I chose the Old Chiang Mai Cultural Centre (OCMCC) based on reviews I had read and the fact that it was not organised at a hotel – so it was pot luck. Only later did I discover that OCMCC... More

Okay so this is a totally touristy way of getting in a whole bunch of Thai dances in a quick stop. The program has two portions but they spend like 2-5 mins each on many different dances do you definitely don't get bored. Note sitting on the floor is very uncomfortable but the seated areas do not give you a... More

The food is plentiful but mediocre and the performers in the show seemed non-engaged when dancing. Also note that one has the option of eating Thai style - sitting on a small cushion on the floor where one's legs can cramp after 15 or 20 minutes - or sitting Western style at a table; but the tradeoff for comfort is...

We did the dinner on the floor area, which is nice. The venue is clean and well run. I don't eat pork and we hadn't ordered vegetarian in advance, but the staff were very accommodating - bringing double serves of everything! The food itself is somewhat disappointing if you're used to the usual flavours of the fabulous food of northern... More

The show was very simple and nothing spectacular to us. If you have seen other traditional dance, you will certainly get disappointed. I should have checked the website, rather than trusting the travel agent. You will get more than enough of this place by going to the internet. We have ordered vegetarian food. To make sure, I have asked the... More
