One thing a foreign tourist should experience in Chiang Mai is the Khantoke dinner. It is a perfect event where you can learn more about traditional northern cuisine while enjoying traditional music and dance. Khantoke in the Northern dialect means a wooden tray used for carrying dishes. Round in shape, it is made of wood, varnished or lacquered with 5 or 6 short supporting legs. At a Khantoke dinner, the host and the invited guests sit on the floor around the Khantoke, a circular tray with Northern dishes on it. Guests are encouraged to eat with their hands, as the locals do. The eating procedure is easy: take a handful of steamed sticky rice from the bamboo basket, roll, and dip it into the curry or chili paste and then taste it. During the Khantoke Dinner, several dances and shows are performed. The most popular Northern dance is Fon Leb or fingernail dance. This show is impressive as female dancers are dressed in Northern Thai style, and wear long pointed brass fingernails. After dinner have a fun with Thai dancing and have a unique experience & a moment to remember with Khom-Loy (floating lantern). The Khom Loy gives you a beautiful and magic atmosphere on a special party or just when you want something special. The Buddhist floating lantern for offering to Buddha, to have good luck in the present life and to be rich & good looking in the next life. |
