In a delightful blend of street food culture and riverside glamour, the 21st edition of "Raan Dung Ross Ded" transforms Shangri-La Bangkok's poolside into a vibrant night market this December. The event, which has become a cherished fixture in Bangkok's culinary calendar, showcases an impressive array of local delicacies from Michelin-recognised vendors alongside the hotel's signature creations.
Against the backdrop of the meandering Chao Phraya River, guests can savour authentic dishes from celebrated establishments including Mr. Jo's legendary Kuay Jup and Charoen Saeng Silom's tender stewed pork knuckle, both holding the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. The acclaimed Prince's Jok (rice porridge) adds another star-studded option to the feast.
The hotel's culinary team complements these street food legends with their own specialities. Chef Yanavit Theerasomboonkun's interpretation of Phad Thai stands alongside contemporary offerings such as Australian beef Pho Bo and a premium BBQ combination rice from Shang Palace. For those seeking international flavours, classic fish and chips provide a satisfying alternative.
As the sun sets and live music fills the air, the waterfront location offers more than just culinary delights. Local artisans display their crafts, creating an immersive cultural experience that extends beyond the dining table. The setting proves particularly captivating for photography enthusiasts, with the illuminated river providing a stunning natural backdrop.
Sweet endings come in the form of traditional Thai shaved ice desserts and fresh coconut ice cream, perfectly concluding the gastronomic journey. The event also includes a lucky draw, adding an element of excitement to future visits.

In its 21st iteration, this unique convergence of street food culture and five-star hospitality continues to celebrate Bangkok's rich culinary heritage while offering a refined yet relaxed dining experience along the capital's historic waterway.
