{"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."}
The show was lovely, the food tasty (but not warm because it all had to be made in advance for the huge crowd), and the service very good. It was nice that they introduced the dances in both Thai and English and provided an information booklet as well.
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.
the trip is good and the service is really excellent, the waiters keep on asking you whether you need to refill or not and the performances are great. At the end of the show, dancers invite you to come out to dance! Good experience
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.
This was an amazing experience! If you come to Chiang Mai this is a must do! The whole experience was wonderful! It was so well organized, the staff were so, so kind, attentive and just on the ball, the food was absolutely delicious and they refilled it every time you finished something! The dancers, the live band, the program and the experience as a whole was just unforgettable! I am so grateful I had the chance to experience this, after experiencing so much of the land and the other activities it was so nice to touch base and experience Thai culture in this way! I 100000000% recommend the Khantoke Dinner Experience to you and I'm so excited for those who will experience this for the first time!
Enjoyed this show and dinner very much. the dancers were so elegant and the musicians were fantastic! Service staff were very friendly and attentive, checking if you need refills. Food was delicious too! Highly recommended!!
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!!
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! :)
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.
