A must go experience. - New experience in the food. When a dish is finished they will fill the food again. The show was not spoilt by rain. There was a good variety of dances.

A delicious evening! - This dinner show delighted us all: an outdoor stage on a human scale (breathtaking view for all), varied dances, traditional music played live and to finish a meal in a premium formula which delighted our taste buds with great variety of dishes: fish, shrimp, chicken, pork, soup and vegetables offered with both fragrant rice and sticky rice. I recommend this formula without hesitation!

Khantoke experience - We visited the khum khantoke in July. It was fun, the food was very safe, i.e., not too spicey and plenty of it. Unfortunately, it was raining for most of the show, so the dancers were a long way away. Some of the dances were very amateur and unchoreographed, which was disappointing . I did not like animal costume getting too close to our table, ir made me very nervous, however most people enjoyed it. Overall, it was fun, good, but not fantastic.

Northern Thai dance and food - We were picked up at the hotel by van. There are several places in Chiang Mai where you can see the Khantoke dinner show, but on this tour we went to an outdoor restaurant called Khun Khantoke. It's about 30 minutes by car from the old town. For dinner, several dishes were lined up on a round table, and we ate them with sticky rice. It felt a little small for three adults. There were tables where they offered refills and tables where they didn't, but I don't know the difference. There was no explanation in Japanese for the dinner show, so I only vaguely understood the historical background. Young people were dancing. To be honest, the dancing was relaxed and leisurely until halfway through, but it became lively at the end and everyone danced together for the finale. If you can stay in Chiang Mai for two nights, it might be worth coming, but if you don't have time, I thought the night market would be more interesting.

Tourist events - We were disappointed with the evening. More than 100 people get something to eat more or less at the same time, nothing convinced us in terms of taste. Prices for the drinks are above average. The performances seem boring and diced together and the music is deafeningly loud. We cannot recommend the event.

Pick up miss! I was left waiting (lol) - I waited for the pick-up at the hotel, but it didn't come even after an hour. I asked the hotel to check and they said that the agent had forgotten to pick me up. I rushed to the hotel by taxi, but the show ended in about 10 minutes and the meal was over. It was a disappointing result for my first Chiang Mai dance. The atmosphere of the venue was good.
