Khantoke Dinner means "The meal is served on small, low, circular tables (or tok), usually lacquered red or black. These vary in size from around two to three feet in diameter, with larger ones for very special occasions. Every family in northern Thailand has one. One toke is for up to four guests, who sit on the floor to be served by hostesses who also sit next to the guests, chatting and smiling, fetching more dishes, and anticipating every need. They, of course, wear traditional costume -- ankle-length skirts called bhasin, with close-fitting, long-sleeved blouses called suakhan krabok, covered by a wrap or shawl called sabai chiang. The colours are magnificent, set off by a flower or two in the hair, usualy orchids. Male guests are given a plain, shirt-type native costume to wear, usually dark blue or maroon. It is called a pa ka ma".
