Old Chiangmai Cultural Center

A great evening activity to experience the history of the Chiangmai people. The dancers and musicians performed for about an hour and a half. Sitting on the floor near the stage was fun and pulls you into experience. We ordered a sample tray that was extra to the buffet. All the food is from the tribes. Our group really enjoyed your time and found it a educational experience. They do have western style chairs and table in you are not able to sit on the floor. I would recommend adding this to your list.

It's a neat old complex with dinner shows. The shows are ok. It is clear at one point they were more popular in an outside larger stage and even the indoor "rain stage." The food is neat and pretty, but produced in bulk. They have a base price that gets you a nice meal and the show and a VIP price that is more than twice as much that gets you a little nicer meal and up front seating. Food options between the two are not much different. Over all, it all seemed a little tired. Some people left early. I thought about leaving early. Some of the night markets and bazzares also have 'traditonal' dancer shows, and better food for 1/4 the price and in a more lively atmosphere.

Great cultural experience. The food was good. Nothing mind blowing but still delicious. My kids were happy there was lots of fried chicken. I enjoyed the fried bananas and the braised beef. The dancing was nice. It was fun to see the different styles of dress from the different local tribes.

This experience made for a really enjoyable evening! It was a great way to immerse myself into the Thai culture. The atomosohere was fun & inviting. Staff were friendly. Food was delicious. Just a note: When booking tickets, they have several menus to choose from for groups of 2 or more. As a solo traveler, I would have liked to have been to select one of the higher end menus, but unless I was willing to pay for two people, you're kind of stuck with the basic choice. Would have been nice to have options, though what I received was delicious!

Such rich cultural experience, the performance was sensational. Great for family after a big day out! We enjoyed the night of good food, performance, and the dances. A must do if you want to immerse yourself in the Lenna culture.

The experience at Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center was so much better than we expected. The evening began with a delicious spread of local Thai dishes, accompanied by live traditional music that created such a calm and welcoming community atmosphere. As we ate, the performers played beautiful Thai instruments, then later took the stage for a series of graceful, captivating dances — each one telling a story through movement and music. The finale was especially impressive, with a dramatic outdoor fire dance. It felt authentic, respectful of the culture, and incredibly well put together.

The food at this restaurant was absolutely superb, and the added bonus of watching a captivating cultural dance made the evening even more special. We wisely purchased our tickets in advance, ensuring we didn’t miss the opportunity to enjoy both dinner and the performance. The dishes were not only delicious but also generously refilled throughout the night. Each dance depicted a different story, providing an eye-opening glimpse into the culture. Overall, this is an experience that you shouldn't miss—it's a delightful combination of exquisite food and enchanting entertainment!

Redeemed with TAGTHAi easily. Very good Thai experience. Meal was great, too. Visited few years ago and knew seating on the floor was not so comfortable, we requested the western seating option with table.
