it's the Thai equivilent of a smorgasbord served in khans (small serving bowls) on a toke (low, round table). You get to sit sprawled on the floor on mats and triangular cushions while you feast. If this is not hedonistic enough, there will be distracting stage shows where the staff try to roll about on knives, dance with umbrellas and the like.
What's there not to like?
