Don’t miss your chance to savor these seasonal gems within the serene embrace of Shangri-La Bangkok—a story of strawberries, sustainability, and sheer indulgence awaits.
This sounds delightful, but at THB 1,999 for an afternoon tea, isn’t it a bit too expensive for strawberries and scones?
You’re paying for the experience and the quality. Shangri-La is not just a tea lounge; it’s a luxury experience overlooking the river.
True, but aren’t there other places with equally good views and food at a more reasonable price?
It’s actually not bad compared to similar venues around the world, especially if you factor in the season and luxury branding.
Plus, supporting sustainability initiatives isn’t cheap. You’re contributing to a good cause!
Can someone explain why strawberries are such a big deal in Bangkok? Aren’t they common everywhere?
It’s not just about the strawberries, it’s the twist – combining them with Thai culture, river views, and luxurious ambiance.
And strawberries here are different because they’re fresh and local, infused with rich flavors you might not find elsewhere.
Exactly! The local touch and creativity make the strawberry desserts unique, elevating a familiar ingredient into something special.
I get the luxury part, but are strawberries really that much better when curated by a top chef, or is it just marketing fluff?
Having experienced Chef Hekimov’s creations before, I can say his work genuinely enhances the flavors beyond just ordinary berries.
Marketing does play a role but when done right, the culinary artistry can indeed make a profound difference on the palate.
Good to hear from someone with firsthand experience! I’ll consider giving it a try then.
Love that Shangri-La is committed to their ‘Rooted in Nature’ initiative. More luxury brands should focus on sustainability.
Absolutely! It’s crucial for the environment and ensures future generations can enjoy these luxuries too.
For those on a budget, there are many cafes that do affordable and delicious teas. Luxury isn’t everything.
Yet, if you can afford it, why not experience it at least once? It’s not just tea, it’s an entire day of relaxation!
Has anyone taken some really good Instagram shots here? It sounds like a perfect place for photos!
Yes! The backdrop of the Chao Phraya River is stunning and the artfully presented desserts make for great photo ops.
Fantastic, can’t wait to visit and capture it myself!
Anyone else wonder if these fancy teas are just a fad? Bet in a few years they’ll move on to a different hype.
High tea has been around for generations! It’s timeless, but venues do need to adapt to keep it exciting.
I suppose the classics never really die, just evolve to fit modern tastes.
The combination of high tea and a focus on local ingredients is a respectful nod to both tradition and modern sustainability.
I’d be more interested in their range of exclusive teas. Anyone know if they offer decaf options?
They do have a selection of herbal teas, which are naturally caffeine-free, perfect for an evening treat.
After reading about this, I can’t wait to book my spot! Hoping it lives up to the luxury and taste.
