Arrived at the I residence hotel yesturday in Silom near Patpong have stayed here before it's a nice hotel with roof top pool about £30 for room , Only thing is the service at the pool is real bad. .So we had look around the shops and got some smacks to take back as the normal restaurant we visit is no longer there, it looks like they are cleaning up Patpong wich is a shame as that's why I like it and what makes it so different.Got up early today after all the shopping last night as we had a cooking course booked at Silom cooking school £20 each and it was fantastic ,they took us through the market first to get all our ingredients then back to the school to teach us how to cook the dishes.it was very well done very informative ect .we cooked Tom Yam soup .Phad Ghai and Green curry .the chef also cooked us Papaya salad and Mango with sticky rice wich tasted amazin !!!!
