Spice Market: Dont miss it! Spice Market Review

We had read about this restaurant in one of the guide books so took a taxi to the Four Seasons hotel to try for ourselves. On arrival at the hotel our taxi was greeted by a Thai gentleman in pinstripes and dress coat who escorted us to the restaurant inside this amazing hotel. The decor of the restaurant was perfect..a typical spice market, in an old teak room with sacks of spices on shelves and large jars and weighing scales all added to the atmosphere. Good service and polite staff made the evening. If you go have coffee in the hotel lounge after. Such an elegant place with the most beautiful Thai waitresses in national dress Ive ever seen

Favorite Dish: We had been warned about fiery Thai food but were pleasantly surprised by the delicate flavours of the dishes we had ordered, until we tried the snow peas nestling in the rice! WOW they took our heads off they were so hot, so with tears streaming down our faces and throats closing we quickly ordered cooling desserts. A young green coconut cut into the shape of a little hut and filled with coconut ice cream was just what we needed...and so delicious
