Khantoke Dinner and Cultural Show

{"translation": "*Review from a true Thai perspective*\nEase of booking through Klook:\nWe booked the Khantoke dinner through the app. I came across some reviews here and was quite surprised, but I decided to be brave and try it myself, to see it with my own eyes just once.\nMarch 22, 2026. The show starts from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM.\nFrom our perspective, *everything was perfect*.\nPrice:\n- At only 700 baht/person (with change)\n- Unlimited refills of local food (the taste might not be very strong, as there are quite a lot more foreigners than Thais, but for me, it was edible).\n- The staff continuously served both drinks and food without a break, so much so that we couldn't keep up because we were watching the show without taking our eyes off it.\nThe Show:\n- A variety of performances that were fun, exciting, and beautiful, presenting Thai culture excellently.\n\nP.S. I would like to encourage Thais from other regions, if you visit Chiang Mai, to come and support this place. It's worth it."}

Amazing Khantoke Dinner experience! :) The food was delicious and very filling. The performances were really great and the staffs are all accommodating and friendly. It's wonderful to see the Thai tradition and roots through creative arts! Thank you for the wonderful experience! :)

It was such a fun night. We were welcomed warmly by reception and given timely updates. Food was delicious and topped up regularly. The show was so entertaining and I was mesmerised at every performance. It was such a great night and something I'd recommend to everyone coming here.

I applied because I wanted to experience the culture of the Lanna Empire. I was surprised that the food culture was very similar to Korea. Delicious food is served unlimitedly. All the staff treated us kindly. After some food was served, traditional music, dance, and stories were played, which also showed that they were doing their best. There was a limit to the number of people who could attend at one time, so it wasn't too crowded when we finished and left. We called Sungtaew and went to our accommodation, and the security guard even helped us organize the road conditions. I highly recommend this experience if you go to Chiang Mai. My whole family had a great time.

A satisfying dinner experience. The buffet style allows you to try a variety of traditional foods. Drinks and beer are available to order, and while they're a bit pricier than outside, it's worth it to comfortably enjoy traditional music and dance performances during your meal. Seeing the variety of traditional clothing is also a nice perk. For a more comfortable experience, choose regular seating (tables and chairs like a typical restaurant), or for a unique experience, try the floor seating. After the show, you can dance together and take photos. It was a delightful 2-hour experience.

I was lucky enough to be arranged in the first row to watch the performance up close. It felt better to sit on the traditional mat, but my feet would become numb after sitting for too long, so I had to keep changing my posture. People start to arrive at 6:30 in the evening and the waiters will begin serving the dishes. During the meal, the waiters will also check to see if there is any need for more food to ensure that you can eat your fill. The performance starts at around 7 o'clock. You can appreciate the local traditional culture and feel the cultural atmosphere. Those who like this kind of atmosphere can come and watch. At the end of the show, there will be a white animal similar to the dragon and lion dance? It will come down to take photos with people and ask for tips... If you don't want to give, just ignore it. However, I personally think this way of asking for tips is inappropriate. Apart from this, everything else is OK. At the very end, the audience will be invited to the stage to dance together to end the evening's performance.

The Khantoke Dinner and Cultural Show was a remarkable experience. The venue is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, which made it very convenient. The music and dance performances were beautiful, with skilled and graceful musicians and dancers. The show was well paced and gave a good sense of traditional Northern Thai culture without feeling dragged or overly commercial. The food was good and served in generous portions, and refills were available, so you won't leave hungry. Everything was well organized, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Overall, a memorable cultural experience that's worth attending, especially if you want an easy and enjoyable evening close to your hotel.

It was such a wonderful experience. all the staff were really nice and accomodating and always wear big smiles. The foods that were served are really delicious and would really want you to eat more, the dish that stood out for me is the kaeng hang lay, it didn't had the usual strong curry taste, but surely satisfy your tastesbuds. Nam Prik Num elevated the other dishes, giving nam prik awng another level of spiciness . Having to see the lanna traditional makes the whole night really fun and interesting, they performers didn't just dance, the organizers did also gave brief history of ecery music and dance that was performed. If there is one suggestion that I would make, maybe the organizers would add an option, specially those who are alone if they want to pair or group with other solo goers.

the food was so tasty to start with. getting the buffet was more than enough for the 2 of us, we didn’t even need to ask for further refills! the show itself was brilliant — all the dancers and musicians were incredibly talented. they have an announcement that provides a background/introduction before each performance so you’ll be well informed. would 100% recommend going as it was a lovely experience!!

The taste of the Kantoke meal was decent, and the portion size was generous, so I left a lot of food. The service was also good. However, the performance was shorter and more modest than expected. Nevertheless, it seems like a good choice for experiencing the charm of Chiang Mai.
