Kung Phuean Praew

If shrimp were a religion, this place would be the temple. Tucked along the road of Ayutthaya, this lunch gem delivers shrimp so fresh they probably filled out a time sheet this morning. Swap riverside with marketside. The grilled river prawns? Massive. Like, “should I tip this prawn?” massive. Heads full of rich, golden fat that made us question everything we thought we knew about flavor—and cholesterol. We went in thinking we’d order light. We left Googling if it’s socially acceptable to drink prawn oil straight. Sides were no afterthought either—spicy dips that slap, rice that actually compliments the meal instead of just showing up, and a riverside view that’s one strong gust away from a full food meditation session. Bonus: zero tourist-trap energy. Just good food, good people, and shrimp that might haunt our dreams (in the best way). Come hungry, leave full—and maybe with a few shrimp shells in your pocket for emotional support.

My go-to spot every time I’m in Ayutthaya. The food’s really good and totally worth the price. The grilled shrimp is a must—super fresh, comes in big portions, and not pricey at all. They usually have three sizes to choose from. I also really like their fried rice, tom yum, and the seafood sauce is amazing. It’s in the market area but there’s parking, which is super convenient. Definitely a place I keep coming back to.

A local friend bring us here, the seafood are fresh and meaty, enjoy the food here very much. Good portion and price are reasonable.
