Claire and Sylvie atop Pumpkin Mountain
Last minute, we decided to leave town for the New Year's weekend. We really should remember not to travel on Thai holidays. We thought our first stop was three hours away, but it took us five. It was a beautiful place, however. Jim Thompson was an American who started the Thai Silk Company back in the 50's and revived the cottage Thai silk industry. The company still prospers today, and once a year, they open their farm to the public for a month. There was a pumpkin patch and fields of flowers, traditional Thai houses and culture on display and demonstrations of the silk growing/making process. Claire was fascinated by the silk worms, and we all enjoyed being outside in the cooler weather.
