For fans of mantis prawns, one great place to try is Somboon at Ratchada. Last time taken was 4-5 years ago. Remember the place die die also don't accept credit card. NW should be familiar with this joint as it is walking distance to Claudia.

Jlokta, thanks for posting this, To be frank, I really love the juices from the pig prawn heads. If having dinner with GF, both of us will eat head first then body. Many bros will disagree on this but I am also cutting down as much as I can.
