Loy Krathong is such a magical festival, but these prices are simply outrageous. THB 6,500 just to float some eco-friendly krathongs?
It’s not just about the krathongs; it’s about the experience. Shangri-La offers a luxurious and culturally immersive event.
I get that it’s luxurious, but affordability should be considered too. Not everyone can spend that much for a night.
Amelia_J, you might find cheaper options elsewhere, but they won’t offer the same experience as the Shangri-La.
The early bird discount isn’t much of a discount when the prices are already so high. Feels like a money grab.
High-end events come with high-end prices. You get what you pay for.
Agreed, Sarah L. It’s too pricey for what you’re getting. Plus, they’re probably banking on that ‘luxury’ tag.
I think it’s wonderful that Shangri-La is promoting Thai culture so beautifully. It’s worth every penny!
But is it sustainable? Imagine the waste created by such lavish events.
Shangri-La uses eco-friendly krathongs, so they are making efforts towards sustainability.
Exactly. Plus, showcasing our culture on such a grand scale can only be a good thing.
I’d rather spend my money on traveling around Thailand than on one extravagant night. You get more value that way.
True, Liam! You can have an equally memorable Loy Krathong experience for a fraction of the cost elsewhere.
I was at Shangri-La last year for Loy Krathong and it was simply breathtaking! Worth every baht.
Good to hear positive feedback. I might just consider it this year.
You should, Nomad! They really put on a spectacular show.
Canadian Lobster and Foie Gras at Next2 Café sounds delicious, but is the quality up to par with the price?
From my experience, Shangri-La never compromises on food quality. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks, ChefElliot! Good to know that it’s worth the splurge.
This all sounds very elitist to me. Festivals should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy.
You can’t expect 5-star luxury to come at a 2-star price. There are other options for those who can’t afford this.
While the festival is beautiful, it’s concerning how much these luxury events impact the environment.
Loy Krathong is about tradition and community. This feels like commercial exploitation.
I attended a similar event at a local temple for free. It felt more authentic and spiritual.
Can’t believe there are still people complaining about event prices. You want quality, you pay for it. Simple as that.
It’s not about quality, Rick. It’s about accessibility. Not everyone can shell out thousands for one night.
Life’s not fair, Amelia. Luxury isn’t a human right; it’s a privilege.
Child prices are more reasonable, but still high. Would love to take my family but unsure if it’s worth it.
It’s a unique experience, FamilyGuy. Worth considering for a special occasion.
Shangri-La really knows how to put on a show. I’ve attended several of their events and they’re always top-notch.
I hope they’re doing more than just using eco-friendly krathongs. Real sustainable practices should be top priority.
Remember, it’s also an opportunity to support local performers and artists showcasing our culture.
Spent THB 6,500 on a weekend getaway to a beach resort and had an amazing time. This feels overpriced in comparison.
Totally agree, Jane. For that price, you can enjoy multiple experiences around Thailand.
A luxurious night out can be memorable, but experiential travelers might get more from exploring other parts of Thailand.
