Itinerary
Be transported into the enchanting world of Lanna culture at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center, where the traditions of Northern Thailand come alive through music, dance, and storytelling. Watch as graceful dancers in exquisite traditional costumes move in harmony with the hypnotic melodies of ancient Thai instruments. The deep, resonant beats of the Sabad Chai drums set the tone for a mesmerizing evening, transporting you back to a time when these performances were part of royal ceremonies. The show unfolds with spectacular performances, each telling a unique story of Lanna heritage. The elegant Fon Ram dance captivates with delicate hand gestures, while the Candle Dance creates a magical glow as performers move rhythmically with flickering flames. Be awed by the Sword Dance, where skilled performers display incredible agility, reenacting battle movements with glistening blades. The Fingernail Dance, with its long golden extensions, showcases the grace of Northern Thai women.

Traveler reviews
It Was a Lovely Performance
Unless you specifically request "Western Seating", you will be sitting on the floor. While I did not purchase the dinner ticket, many folks did and I could see how challenging eating on the floor was for some of the audience members. The dances were charming and the dancers skillful. It was a very good performance. I think because I have attended similar performances, it did not light me up with excitement. I actually left early. I plan on going back and enjoying one of the restaurants in the complex. The menus looked very good.
Good evening watching many Lanna dances.
We did the show only and enjoyed the evening watching many forms of Lanna dances and music. Staff were very accommodating and gave us a table even though our booking was for ground seating. (Note: Seating Option was not selectable during booking which should be corrected by Viator). This was a last minute booking and it worked out!
A entertaining evening
Very traditional food and performance, no surprise. But it was quite a pleasant and entertaining evening. The performance was a folk art style.
