Shinawatra Silk Factory: Princess Edition

This past Saturday (November 23) a few of us visited the famous Shinawatra Silk Factory in Chiang Mai! It was amazing to see how silk is produced via the cocoon of the silkworm. Thai silkworms are generally yellow compared to Chinese/Japanese silkworms which are white! 

FUN FACT: This silk factory was visited by Princess Diana back in the day!
