The Gourmet Dining and Show by the Mandarin Oriental offers an unforgettable evening of fine dining and world-class entertainment in one of Bangkok’s most iconic luxury hotels. Set in the opulent surroundings of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, this experience combines exquisite gourmet cuisine with captivating performances, creating a perfect blend of culinary and cultural delights.
Housed in a richly decorated pavilion built in the traditional Northern Thai style, Sala Rim Naam is the setting for a unique cultural experience — a classical Thai dance show performed every night at 7:45pm - enjoyed during a delicious meal of traditional Thai dishes including Lon Poo Talay (sea crab meat cooked in coconut milk), Yaam Talay (spiced seafood salad) and Mussamun Nuea (southern style beef curry with sweet potato and onion).
The room accommodates two stages, one of a traditional orchestra and one for highly skilled Thai dancers performing excerpts of the Khon Dance. If you have been to dinners featuring a Thai show before you might be a bit worried as it often feels touristy or too loud but the level of music is just right, more like background entertainment than an invasive show. The dancer's costumes are superbly crafted and dances are beautifully executed, a fascinating performance especially if this is your first time in Thailand.
