Thailand is one of the top exporters of prawns in the world, and around Bangkok, they are never hard to locate.

These particular jumbo prawns are served with the head on because the head contains the most valuable edible section on the creature – all the head meat and juices!

Find these jumbo prawns at the Chatuchak weekend market.
