Itinerary
The very first ever Khantoke Dinner Show was created right here at Old Chiangmai on 1970. It was started in order to showcase the traditional Northern Thailand, Lanna, culture. This has evolved over centuries and much of what you will witness here is timeless. Many of the dances were created in the last 150 years, the most recent in 1957 but they all have their origins in traditional dance that is very much older.
Dining etiquette, seating arrangements and the dishes served are an authentic celebration of Chiang Mai’s traditions. Highlights include being greeted by Khantoke staff in traditional Lanna costume with a wai, dance routines such as the ram dap sword and tasting the inimitable flavours of sticky rice and chilli dips like nam phrik ong

Traveler reviews
Interesting dance,...
Interesting dance, cultural and tasting event. Punctual pickup at the hotel. Food versatile and it is regularly refiled. Unfortunately, only drink one drink, so score deduction. Basically but good event.
Not great!
It was 1 hour experience so the food service was very rushed once everyone was seated. The waiting staff were very pleasant but the food seemed of cheap ingredients and was almost cold when it was served. The music was quite painful to listen to, and the dancing very amateur. Many people were leaving well before the end. Because we are older and need back support for seating, we requested a regular table and chairs, which we got. We were told there would be less visibility, which was right, we could hardly see anything. All in all, not a great experience.
.
The show was good, but it took a long time to serve our table and almost didn't pass, I had some dietary restrictions and when I was going to ask they couldn't answer me. But taking that out is worth knowing a bit of the local food and culture
Relaxing dinner
Fabulous dancers and delicious food. Something for everyone! Nice relaxing dinner including a show with beautiful costumes and cultural dance.
Dinner show
Hotel pick up and drop off was great always early and patient. Driver spoke great English and spoke with us all the way to dinner. The dinner set up is in a Traditional set up on the floor and tables if you need them. The show was wonderful. The dinner was more like appetizer because it was very little, so if you are going to eat ...it best to eat before going
