Old Chiang Mai Cultural Centre

Top choice in Chiang Mai


For an interactive immersion in all things Lanna, this first-of-its-kind Khantoke dinner-theatre experience remains unparalleled in Thailand. Guests stretch out on floor mats to feast on northern Thai dishes served family-style on rattan trays, while musicians strum, blow and beat traditional instruments as costumed performers dance, chant and twirl the occasional sword.

The 'long nails' dance is a perennial crowd favourite, as is the fire finale. The tasty food is all-you-can-eat, but note that beverages of any kind cost extra (and are exorbitantly priced). It's possible to purchase a ticket with refillable water or herbal drinks included.
