This event sounds amazing! But I wonder if the vibe of authentic street food is lost when it’s presented at a luxury hotel.
That’s a good point! Part of the fun of street food is the hustle and bustle of the streets, not a hotel setting.
Exactly! Though I must admit, the riverside setup could be a fresh take.
I think having it at the Shangri-La could offer a cleaner and safer dining experience, especially if you have kids.
The menu seems extensive, but isn’t THB 749 a bit overpriced for street food that’s supposed to be cheap?
You’re paying for the experience and ambience too, not just the food. Plus, Michelin credentials aren’t cheap!
But if you really think about it, it might be worth it once you factor in the unlimited soft drinks and the hotel atmosphere.
I suppose that’s fair. I still worry it might not live up to expectations.
What a delightful mix of food options! I only wish they would include some vegan options so everyone could enjoy.
Great suggestion, Larry! It would enhance the inclusivity of the event.
Not every event needs to cater to all diets. Let them focus on what they’re best at: street food!
I’m curious if having it at a hotel affects the authenticity of Bangkok’s street food culture?
In a way, yes. But it also preserves the tradition while offering convenience and safety.
Good point, Tina. I guess it’s a trade-off between authenticity and comfort.
THB 749 might seem high but compares well with the value in Western dining experiences.
People forget that eastern countries can have high-end dining experiences too!
I love street food! Will definitely check this out if I’m in Bangkok next month!
Honestly, I feel these publicized events often fall flat. They raise expectations too much!
Can’t wait for the live music and the cultural exhibitions! They make any event more special.
I just hope the portions align with what you’d get on the street!
An event like this is a great tourism booster for Bangkok! Brings attention to Thai food heritage.
Totally agree! Plus, it’s good for local vendors to get such exposure.
All these mentions of Michelin Bib Gourmand make it sound prestigious. Can’t resist!
With discounts for kids, this sounds perfect for families on a special night out.
Will there be any vegetarian options? It’s hard to enjoy when only meat dishes are highlighted.
Some Thai dishes are naturally vegetarian. Maybe they just didn’t specify.
I’m all in for the Phad Thai by Chef Yanavit! Had it before and it was divine!
Does anyone know if reservations fill up quickly? I don’t want to miss out.
From experience, I’d say book early to avoid disappointment!
