One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
So we and a great number of people from Dhaka set off over the Eid al-Adha weekend to Bangkok. We arrived late-ish on Friday night, and wandered round the Sukhumvit area where we were staying to find food, and the meeting point at the Emporium for the next days cooking adventure.

we were met by Poo and her team at 8.30 and went off to a big local market
- scroll down with caution as there are some pretty gory pics
At Poo's cooking school in the Klong Toey slum
The food we made was scrummy and it was a great way to see a part of the city we would never have ventured into alone. Poo was an enthusiastic and patient teacher, and her team were great too. If you are ever in Bangkok, we highly recommend.
