Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center (The)

185/3 Wualai Road, Chiang Mai, Thailand

 

Established more than 25 years ago, this center aims to promote and preserve the culture of the ancient northern kingdom of Lanna. Patrons sit on floor cushions and are entertained by elegantly clad Thai dancers. Once sated, move on to enjoy genuine hill-tribe performances at the Hill-tribe Theater. For a very modest fee, each table gets a typical Northern Thai selection that includes such delicious dishes as fried pumpkin, nam prik ong and kaeng haeng le, all accompanied by sticky rice. For special requests, such as vegetarian food, be sure to call in advance. Soft drinks are available.

  • A memorable experience.
  • Photographer too business like, the English description unbearable.

“First impressions are always a good indication and chain main is no different, our taxi driver, well presented and polite suggested that our (only) night in his town be spent at the cultural centre. The night starts (if a ticket is booked you get picked up from your hotel) with generous amount of tasty food which is found in the north while a quality floor show is presented. A show which is local musicians, music and dancers. It is as collectively beautiful and graceful as a major ballet. Then a bus delivers you to your hotel or another location. Drinks other than water cost extra. (Licensed).”
