White Meo Hilltribe & Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Start from THB 1,470
Kantoke restaurants are a fairly new but
popular feature of Chiang Mai, combining great food with cultural
entertainment. Kantoke restaurants get their name from the
low tables on which the food is served, called Kantoke in
Thai. Diners sit on the floor, propped up by sumptuous cushions,
and sample a variety of unique northern dishes. Accompanying
the traditional food is a performance of traditional Lanna
(northern Thai) music and dance.
Dancers weave intricate patterns in the
air with their hands and describe complex circles of movement
with their feet. The music is haunting and soothing at the
same time and visitors often feel as if they've been transported
back through the centuries to the height of the Lanna Kingdom
of old.

Daily:
8:00-12:30
13:30-17:00 |
The trip entails a
pleasant 15 km.winding drive up 3,500 feet above sea level
to visit Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, the most sacred temple
in the city. You then exercise your heart, lungs and limbs
( perfect for couch potatoes and those with beer belly
) by ascending the steps to the temple, guarded by two
magnificent nagas (naks). Constructed in 1383, this symbol
of Chiangmai contains the holy relic of the Lord Buddha
which is enshrined in the magnificent, glowing golden
pagoda.
A bird's eye view of the entire city and the surrounding
areas can be seen from the temple grounds. Continue by
truck along a bumpy mountain road to visit the White Meo
hilltribe village. It's a scenic route. Migrants from
China, they prefer to live in simple, isolated and self-sustaining
villages while preserving their primitive culture, ancient
customs and gorgeous embroidered costumes. Return back
to town. |
