Kantoke Dinners provide a good way to get to know both the Northern food and culture at the same time. The Khantoke is a circular wooden tray set on pedestal that serves as a table. It will carry one of the most delicious meals you have ever eaten. Visitors are seated in the floor around a tray with Northern dishes on it and eat while watching traditional Thai and Northern dances and hill tribe culture shows.
There are in fact two types of Khantoke. The one is the Yuan Khantoke. It is made of teak and is widely used, even today, in Northern Thailand. The other is the Lao Khantoke, a much more spindly three-legged structure that is made from bamboo strips and woven rattan and used mainly in Northeastern Thailand, Laos and Yunnan.
