An evening at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center was a treat. We had a traditional khantonke dinner surrounded by music and dancing from the Hill Tribes. The khantoke is a pedestal tray used as a small dining table used by the Thai speaking people of the "sticky-rice" culture. As we sat and ate delicious Thai food we watched the fingernail dance, sword dance, silk-reeling dance, flame worshipers dance, the rich winnowing dance and a few more. They had a small session where they invited about 10 people from the audience to learn some Thai moves and dance on stage. Hailey was one of the lucky ones asked. She was about a head taller than the Thai dancers. So, she was easy to spot. I would recommend a traditional dance and dinner when you're visiting another country. Incredible experience!
