Khantoke Restaurants in Chiang Mai
Khantoke restaurants are a fairly new but popular feature of Chiang Ma, combining great food with cultural entertainment. Khantoke restaurants get their name from the low tables on which the food is served, called Khantoke 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 theyve been transported back through the centuries to the height of the Lanna Kingdom of old.
