Lunch done!!! The 1st location was this place called Jolie Femme. A Thai Silk factory which provide production and sales services.

Thai silk is one of the finest fabrics in the world. It has very distinctive features that are fundamentally different from the Chinese, Indian and Italian silks. One could not say that any one of the four types is superior to the others, but the process of manufacturing, the patterns and colors used do make the silk types different.
