Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort Unveils 'Sala Lakorn: A Journey into the Soul of Siam' - A New Era of Theatrical Dining

Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort announces the grand opening of Sala Lakorn, a unique new restaurant and destination on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Sala Lakorn offers an unforgettable evening that combines world-class Thai cuisine with a captivating theatrical performance.

Guests are invited to an immersive evening of contemporary Thai culture and spectacle, available daily from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The heart of the experience is "The Eternal Siam", a breathtaking performance that can only be seen at the new Sala Lakorn. The show is the vision of Manop Meejamrat (Kru Nai), a highly respected artist and recipient of the prestigious Silpathorn Award for Performing Arts. The Silpathorn Award is a top honour presented to contemporary Thai artists who have consistently produced creative work. It is organised by the Office of Contemporary Art and Culture (OCAC) which operates under Thailand’s Ministry of Culture.

The production masterfully blends stunning contemporary Thai performances with world-class visual effects and a powerful musical score. It takes audiences on a journey through the timeless beauty and spirit of Thailand, from the country's ancient origins to its vibrant present. Show highlights include an immersive welcome from the radiant Flower Queen, a tribute to the river goddess Mae Khongkha, a mesmerising Nang Yai shadow puppet performance, and a grand finale featuring the iconic Golden Swan Royal Barge, the Suphannahong.

While enjoying the spectacle, guests can feast on Sala Lakorn’s International Buffet, which showcases a vibrant mix of Thai culinary heritage and international favourites. The BBQ seafood section is a centrepiece, offering a premium selection of River Prawns, Blue Swimmer Crabs, Slipper Lobster, Fine de Claire Oysters, and much more. Signature Thai dishes include Gang Keaw Wan Gai (Thai green curry with chicken) and Pla Pad Pak Preaw Wan (sweet & sour seabass) along with Thai street food favourites such as crab omelette with coconut siracha, sweet chilli sauce, bean sprouts and Thai herbs and live-action Som Tum stations.

International flavours include a China Town Station, where guests can enjoy scrumptious dim sum and favourites such as Hainanese Chicken Rice, and BBQ Pork on rotation. Indian favourites include Chicken Tikka, Dal Tarka and Aloo Shimla Mirch

Desserts are a celebration of tradition and indulgence, featuring Thai classics like Tong Yod, Foi Tong, and Khanom Look Choub, alongside international treats such as banana crepes and churros.

Sala Lakorn is set to become Bangkok's premier destination for those seeking an evening of cultural immersion, exquisite dining, and world-class entertainment. Book now and experience the first taste of Bangkok’s newest theatrical show by the river. Only at Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.
