I must say I was a bit disappointed with the dinner, while I was booking the dinner I was under the impression that we are all going to sit on the floor as a traditional way of eating this Khantoke dinner. However there were limited seats on the floor, with the remaining by tables - I'd much rather prefer to sit on the the floor. I don't think this was explained clearly.

Fun time sitting on the floor mats and trying these foods. Unfortunately, we were dropped off just before the dancing started so we didn't get to enjoy our food before the dancing started. The sound system was so poor we were not able to hear and understand the announcer who was explaining each of the dances. A printed program would have been helpful._br/_ Beautiful dancers and accomplished musicians.

Had a good experience on this tour. The dinner and show is outdoors at the Chiang Mai Cultural Centre. I think the default is to seat you on the floor with Thai-style cushions the seating areas are already laid out according to the booking sizes, but a few others who shared my pickup asked to be moved to a table and this didn't seem a problem.

We're sure it would've been a nice experience if we had been picked up. Since our hotel wasn't on the list, we chose one not too far as it was directed on the site. We waited at the nearby hotel at the pick up time for about an hour just to be sure, but no one came to pick us up. No one could be contacted and we weren't given an address of the destination.

Fully enjoyed this evening... amazing food even though it seemed to be served in a rushed manner.... the dancers and costumes were outstanding and such a varied program that was completed outside..... sorry the tourist souvenir tables closed up so quickly after...._br/_ Sandra

The performance was average. We have seen a whole lot better in Thailand. The food was OK, but having to sit on the floor wd awkward and painfull. We moved to a table after a while.

Makes an entertaining evening

For those with back problems, this type of dinner show might not be the best for you. You have to sit on cushions on a carpeted floor around the dance floor where after dinner, there are folk dances. My legs were getting numb and my back hurting so I requested the manager to seat us on a regular table which he obliged. The food was average and the show fairly long. For some, the dances may be entertaining but I noticed that the audience were slowly getting up and leaving because their interest may have been lost. I would rate this a 3.

A pleasant experience with good Thai food and Thai entertainment for a very reasonable price.

Fabulous food and entertainment - for the whole family. We felt immersed in the culture of Chiang Mai! Lovely driver to pick us up and drop us back to our hotel.

Very rustic and basic. The food was bland and the seating on the floor was very uncomfortable. The traditional dancing was not interesting and the descriptions of the cultural significance of the dances were difficult to hear over the noise of the dinners. The pickup was very good, on time and ready to depart at the end of the dinner/show.

I was so very disappointed in this trip. Pick up was scheduled and I was picked up on time however when we got to the facility everyone was already halfway through their meals. I was solo so was seated completely alone I booked this thinking I would be interacting with other guests and my meal was served nearly immediately as the show started. I was eating while watching the show - which was ok others were still eating as well. You do sit on the floor but it's not uncomfortable. The food is very good. You do have to buy a drink at additional cost. The dancers were wonderful and I really enjoyed them. The MC could not be heard or understood. After the dinner and show - they have you go outside to watch some fun stuff don't want to spoil it for you. Then you are ushered back to the van and delivered back to your pick up point. I wouldn't do this one again. I could see that families with children would really enjoy it - they do let the kids come on the stage to dance.

I enjoyed the food and cultural show. The tour company picked us up on time. The dinner was nice and to my surprise, they refill the food as long want to eat more drinks not included. Two ladies walk around and snapped a picture with us. Later sell the photo with frame for 100bhat, which I thought was worth it.

Ok, but not amazing. The food itself was not the best compared to the other things we ate during our visit. The dances are interesting and (for the most part) entertaining. Hotel pick-up and drop-off was excellent. Worth doing but not at the cost of other activities.

While in Chiang Mai, we've been to two Khantoke Dinner/Show, this by far is the better of the two. We were picked up at our hotel on time by a friendly and polite driver. The dinner setting was intimate, the food was amazing and plenty - they were even so kind to accommodate my food allergies. My boyfriend received the usual menu and I had my own tray of deliciously modified food! : I am really thankful for that because with my allergies, it's very hard to find a place to eat - but they've been very kind, caring and understanding. While we were having our dinner, musicians played their traditional musical instruments - the music set the mood. Later, the dancers came and performed on stage - I'm sure no matter where you sit, you will get a good view of the show. The other place we went to was so huge that we were straining our necks to see the dancers performed - at it was a very short show, whereas here, not only that were treated to a wonderful show inside the hall, we were also ushered outside to see more dances complete with fire dance and fireworks!!! The servers were very attentive and polite. Everything about this place is excellent and I appreciate the extra care they've given to us. THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
