Your evening begins the local way: with a ride in a red songthaew, the open-air truck that serves as the city’s unique public transport. Feel the breeze as you cruise past glowing temples and street food stalls, heading straight for a lively night market.

Here you’ll meet your ladyboy Discova guide, who’ll show you around the market like an old friend: sharing snacks, jokes, and stories that make Chiang Mai come alive. Over a casual Thai dinner, the conversation might turn deeper. This is your chance to ask anything you’ve ever wondered about Thailand’s transgender community. Your guide will share honest insights about life as a kathoey: the joys of being celebrated on stage as a drag queen, and the realities many face off stage. You will also have some time exploring the market on your own.

After dinner, stroll through Chiang Mai’s nightlife district, passing local hangouts and hearing stories about the city’s famous “other side.” Then, take your seat at a vibrant cabaret show, sip your included drink, and enjoy an evening of dazzling performances and bold personalities (tips are taken care of, though if you’d like to show a little extra love, they’ll never say no!). When the show ends, the queens love to mingle…so grab a photo, share a laugh, maybe even a secret or two.

Good food, drink, a great show, and plenty of laughs: it’s all part of a night that’s fun, friendly, and full of heart. Join Discova Experiences and a small group of fellow travelers (max eight) for an experience that’s warm, witty, and wonderfully Chiang Mai.
