Family Style Dinner at Gallery Restaurant
A combination of exquisite Lanna architecture, fine Thai cuisine, and exhibits of northern Thai art, the Gallery is the perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment during a stay in Chiang Mai. Set in a 100 year old Teakwood House on the bank of the Ping River, the Gallery was selected as the Best Conserved Private House by the Association of Siamese Architects, under Royal Patronage, in 1993, and the Chiang Mai Conservation Prize presented by the Lanna Architect Group in 1991.
Approximate value: $55 USD per person


Khantoke Dinner at Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center
Chiang Mai is famous throughout the kingdom for its incredible cuisine and rich Lanna culture and you can experience the best of both these worlds in one evening at a Khantoke dinner. You won't find a better representation of true Lanna cuisine than at a Khantoke dinner. Guests will be treated to northern-style dishes in traditional Thai fashion by sitting on the floor and eating off large low round tables known as toke. While you sample the many dishes offered, skilled dancers will perform traditional Lanna dances such as fon lep (finger dancing), ram dab (sword dancing), and fon thean (candle dancing). Truly skilled cultural performers like those employed by Chiang Mai's leading Khantoke venues are a dying breed, so whether you come for the food or the dancing, don't pass up this unique experience.
Approximate value: $28 USD per person
