Imagine yourself immersed in the gentle charm of Bangkok’s illustrious riverine scenery, your senses attuned to the rhythmic lapping of the Chao Phraya River just outside your window. Here, nestled within the enchanting teak pavilion of Salathip at Shangri-La Bangkok, an extraordinary culinary escapade awaits: a seasonal menu that celebrates the remarkable flavors of giant Ayutthaya River prawns. This remarkable dining experience is set to delight guests from now until June 30, 2025, transforming any ordinary dinner into an unforgettable journey.
Guiding this gourmet voyage is none other than Thai Chef de Cuisine, Yanavit Theerasomboonkun. Known for his visionary approach to traditional flavors, Chef Yanavit presents a trio of meticulously crafted dishes, each a testament to the incomparable taste of these prized crustaceans. First up, dive into the simple yet sublime grilled giant prawns, expertly paired with both a sweet fish sauce and a zesty seafood sauce that dances upon the palate. This dish speaks a language of its own, whispering tales of tides and tantalizing coastal breezes.
For those with a penchant for spice, the Southern Thai curry awaits. Infused with cumin leaves, this dish delivers an aromatic fury, warmly embracing each succulent prawn in a luscious, spiced embrace. It’s a symphony of flavors, harmoniously balanced between the rich earthiness of the curry and the natural sweetness of the prawns, creating a taste sensation that is as captivating as it is comforting.
And then, there is the pièce de résistance: baked prawns with ginger and glass noodles. Here, delicately fragrant ginger interlaces with the sweet depth of the prawns, while glass noodles soak up every drop of the rich sauce, delivering an explosion of flavor that is nothing short of enchanting. It’s a dish that brims with tradition, yet whispers modern wit—a culinary novelty that beckons with each mouthful.
Each of these culinary masterpieces is priced at THB 2,825 nett, a fitting tribute to the exquisite quality and heritage of the giant Ayutthaya River prawns. With their substantial size and delicately sweet flavor, these prawns transcend the ordinary, offering an unparalleled dining experience.

Wow, THB 2,825 for prawns? This better be worth it. Seems a bit over the top for just three dishes!
Remember, Quality over quantity! These aren’t your everyday prawns, they’re Ayutthaya’s finest.
Exactly! The experience itself is unique—you’re not just paying for food, but an extraordinary culinary journey.
Some of us can’t afford to splurge like that just for a dinner. What about local affordability?
Can’t expect elite dining to cater to a budget. It’s a luxury experience, not a street food stall.
Salathip never disappoints, but why seasonal? If it’s that good, keep it year-round!
The combination of traditional architecture and modern culinary art must be mesmerizing!
Thanks for the appreciation! We strive to keep Thai culture alive in every aspect.
I wonder how well these prawns pair with a cold beer?
Definitely! A refreshing beer would balance out the spicy curry perfectly.
Or perhaps a sweet Thai tea? Alcohol isn’t for everyone.
Why do Thai restaurants always have to overemphasize presentation? Can we focus more on flavor?
I live for spice! The Southern Thai curry sounds like it’ll take me to new heights.
You won’t be disappointed, the balance of flavors is crafted with spice aficionados in mind!
As someone who loves Thailand, this sounds like yet another reason to revisit Bangkok.
Think they offer anything vegan? Not everyone is into seafood.
While the prawns sound tasty, I’m concerned about sustainability. How are they sourced?
Great point! Responsibly sourced seafood is crucial for the environment.
Rest assured, we prioritize eco-friendly practices in sourcing our ingredients.
If you must splurge, make it count. Sounds like a phenomenal dining experience!
I guess if you’re gonna go all out, it might just be worth it. Maybe I’ll just save up!
You won’t regret it! Our team is dedicated to making every moment special.
Dining on the Chao Phraya beside a piece of Thai history can add so much more to the experience.
Absolutely! The ambiance really lets you immerse in Thai culture.
All sounds lovely, but I’m more of a grab-and-go kinda guy.
Does anyone know if there’s a vegetarian equivalent to this? My partner is vegetarian.
Culinary escapades like these might explain why Thai cuisine is hugely popular globally. Sometimes, it’s less about the ingredients and more about the art.
Couldn’t disagree more. It’s taste over looks for me.
Art is subjective, and plating is an art. But yes, taste must always prevail.
