The dinner was so entertaining. There was so much food served and all of it was very good. It was a lot of fun to watch the performers.
Wonderful experience. This is a perfect way to discover the culture, dance and food of Thailand. 10/10
Fantastic food - more than you eat and high quality. Fantastic display of cultural art. Great music and choreography!
The show and dinner were all amazing. It was fun, engaging and interactive! I would recommend this tour to others.
I did not see when bought tickets, a choice between western seating and Lanna (sitting on floor), and on the floor you had to balance your plate on your lap, And I was wearing a dress. We are 65/73 years old, and had to ask to move to a table, there should be more clear info on this when you order the tickets! Some of the food was very good, and some not. Example, we have had "sticky rice" numerous times here in thailand, and at this dinner thickness was like glue, no taste, and difficult to eat. Numerous dances in the show, but mostly so similiar it got boring.
The show was very good and provided cultural dances and music. We sat on the floor with pillows and not offered a choice of seats. Food was good but observed others eating different food. We were not offered a choice. Service was very good. Enjoyed the show and recommend.
Great dinner and show. Talented musicians and dancers. Food was delicious. Very entertaining. Would recommend!
It’s a real Thai experience, service was great, food was good, everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
We very much enjoyed our evening. The experience was delightful, from floor sitting, incredible food that was always being replenished , to very good service and a wonderful evening culture performance. I would recommend!
We elected to book a table rather than to sit traditionally on the floor (old age!) From the moment we walked in, the group of musicians were playing local music. All-you-care-to-eat dinner was tasty and varied, with local dishes plus Fried Banana! The following program of folk and court dances and martial arts was lovely and fun. Of course the evening ended with audience participation in the Ram Wong.
Beautiful experience. Learnt a lot and the people were so friendly. Food was tasty and interesting.
This was a nice evening however the food was not a highlight for us. Out of the many dishes offered, there were only 2-3 that we enjoyed as it was served lukewarm. We were especially disappointed when we were offered coffee or tea and requested coffee, only to be told they were out of it but then the table next to us was served coffee! The entertainment was lovely however.
Me and my partner had a very good time. Food was amazing, the show and performers were absolutely stunning with there magnificent performance. You get to dance with them as well in the end. Getting ticket was easy from booking.com and from entrance the team has a very warm welcome. You will be pay extra for the drinks but they are reasonable price. I think anyone visiting Chiang Mai definitely visit this masterpiece.
Such a cool experience!! Staff were so friendly and the performance was amazing. Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.
This was a very neat experience!!! The show was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the service staff were so kind. We had a really great time here.
Accessing the buffet wasn't explained very well. Two areas with different foods on each side of the stage. We thought they were two separate areas.
Most interesting evening. Sitting on the floor eating traditional foods while being entertained and mesmerised by wonderful dancers. My tip is buy your tickets when you there. Half price.
We were very glad we booked this evening. We wanted to see some local cultural dance from the region, and were not disappointed. The dancers were very talented and impressive. Overall the food was fine. Perhaps a little too much fried food for my preference, but they did have other options. It is a very short taxi ride from the Old City. We were happy with the experience.
What a wonderful evening filled with great food- chicken, pork, vegetables, curry, soups, great flavors and choices with 4 types of rice and several desserts! We sat Lanna style on the floor near the stage which was a treat. The show depicted the history and culture of the different tribes and people of Thailand. It was a beautiful evening, ending with a fire knife dance outside. Highly recommend!
Excellent evening at the cultural centre. Introduced to Northern Thailand art, dance and cuisine. Great for families and couples.
Excellent evening. Food and cultural show really good. Artists performed inside and outside. Great fun for all and suitable for children
Great food and performance the staff were so kind and really looked after us loved it! Wud reccommend to anyone who is looking for a unique experience
So disappointed. I got an email from Tripadvisor / Viator that my reservation was canceled because this experience were oversold, leaving me with no plans for new year's dinner.
Friendly helpful and welcoming. Very well organized and could only eat half the food. Glass of wine was too expensive. Had it been reasonably priced I would have had more Show was great and was accompanied by English explanations/history Evening we'll spent
My wife and I had a very satisfying time watching the traditional dance performance of Thai indigenous tribes at the Chiang Mai Culture Center on September 5th. The guidance on the venue was excellent and the performers also performed at a high level, so I was immersed in the charm of the dance as it was my first time seeing traditional Thai dance. I purchased a premium ticket and was able to watch from a front row seat, and the dinner was also excellent.
A wonderful cultural evening! The traditional dancing and music were great. The food was delicious! So glad we attended this event.
Great setting, sumptuous meal, and very hearty. Magnificent show. We had a very pleasant time as a family with adorable staff. Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed.
The ambience was intoxicating and the performance and dinner was very good The staff were all very attentive and friendly
Really an extraordinary moment. Dining room quite simple with nevertheless beautiful woodwork especially on the ceiling. A certain conviviality reigns in this place. The dishes are delicious and authentic. The staff were very friendly. Small dancing show outside. Everything contributes to having a great time
