This is a Mayan cacao ceremony in Chiang Mai, on Saturday 17 October 2026, held by Carlos Balam from the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. The cacao is ceremonial grade and it is prepared and served the way his people have served it, not as a drink with a story attached to it. Carlos plays live through the evening on ancestral instruments, and Kane Lorh, founder of The Awakening, plays his icaros after the ceremony closes.
Guests are welcomed from 4.30pm at Insda Wellness Resort, in the hills above Hang Dong on the road to Samoeng, twenty-three kilometres out of Chiang Mai.
If you have been looking for a cacao ceremony in Chiang Mai held by somebody who carries the tradition rather than borrows it, this is the one night Carlos is in the city.
