Once again Spice Roads provides us with 5 Star accommodations for our two days in Bangkok at\u00a0 the end of our first trip . . .<\/p>\n

. . . and GREAT views from our room. Unfortunately, Bangkok has some of the worst air pollution in the world and there was a air pollution alert today causing the shakedown ride at the airport track for our new riders , Lori, Anne and Ben to be cancelled. School was also cancelled for two days because of the air quality.<\/p>\n

Some of the gang headed off to tour the James Thompson house. Demos of the silk making process were very interesting . . .<\/p>\n

\"day22_06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . here the silk cocoons are boiled,and as you can see from the photo above, the strands of silk are pulled away and spun into thread.<\/p>\n

\"day22_07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No photos allowed inside . . .<\/p>\n

\"day22_08\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . emJay at one of the homes entry points.<\/p>\n

\"day22_09\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonight we went to a quirky restaurant called Cabbage and Condoms!!!!<\/p>\n

\"day22_10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . a not for profit restaurant\u00a0 where the profits go to support child education. Condoms are the theme and here some of the girls pose with condom man!!!<\/p>\n

\"day22_11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Condoms in every shape and color used in artwork . . .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

. . . oh and there is an educational bent too.<\/p>\n

\"day22_13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No way to get these wine glasses how without breaking them!!!<\/p>\n

\"day22_14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . being the introductory dinner for our second trip, the wine and beer flowed like water!!!<\/p>\n

\"day22_15\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bow, from Spice Roads, attended to make sure we all got a new jersey that fit . . . here helping Lori and Anne with the sizing . . .<\/p>\n

\"day22_16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . .mmmmmm XL or 2XL is the question (Asian sizing you know!!!!)<\/p>\n

\"day22_17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Daniel, Spice Roads CEO, also attend our dinner and warmly welcomed us to our second adventure. He will ride with us for two days.<\/p>\n

\"day22_18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . in the Asian fashion of accepting a gift with two hands, he receives one of the wohu journal business cards from emJay.<\/p>\n

\"day22_19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have learned to WATCH OUT FOR THE RED pepper in Thai cuisine. They are super hot!!! What may look like a piece of tomato . . .<\/p>\n

\"day22_20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

. . . once rolled, over reveals the deadly (to us westerners anyway) chili seeds. Water wont cool your throat . . . milk, ice cream or some dairy product will do the trick!!!!<\/p>\n

\"day22_21\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interesting kiosk as you left the restaurant!!!<\/p>\n
