The Kad Mua dinner (means market with all food types in the northern dialect) is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Individual stalls are decorated as they were in the old days, and the 'vendors' are clad in traditional costume.

This Sawai Riang version employs vendors from the markets surrounding Chiang Mai, and chosen for their expertise at cooking or preparing a particular dish.

After the dinner guests watch a sound and light assisted presentation of a Thai mythological story 'The River'.

Set on platforms in the lake, and using traditional boats, the story explains how a young village boy falls in love with a river goddess.
The whole evening immerses the guest in the La Na culture of old. For a couple of hours, you are transported back in time.
