Romance on the river
For those looking to celebrate Valentine’s in privacy against a historical backdrop on the banks of Chao Phraya River, Praya Palazzo must surely be among the choices.
A boutique hotel that claims history, elegance and river serenity all in the heart of Bangkok, Praya Palazzo is offering a “Month of Love Special Menu” throughout next month as well as a selection of dishes prepared from recipes by ladies of the royal palaces dating back to the days of King Rama V and King Rama VI on its the main menu.
Amongst the enticing selection featured in the “Month of Love” a la carte menu are the hotel’s signature spicy seared scallops with crispy betel and pomegranate salad, seafood tower with traditional Thai seafood sauce, and sweet and sour river prawns.
The dishes inspired by the hard-to-source recipes of the court ladies include kaeng runjuan (a traditional spicy beef or pork soup with shrimp paste) and moo pud som siew (stir fried pork with yellow chilli paste).
Love birds loath to leave such a romantic setting on Valentine’s Day can take advantage of the hotel’s distinctive rooms and suites exuding an ambience of the bygone days and romantically ancient Siam . Rates start from Bt4,200-plus or Bt4,943 nett inclusive of breakfast for two persons.
