Wine Tour

On Saturday we attended our first AMCHAM (The American Chambers of Commerce Abroad) event-a wine tour. The day started out with the group taking four vans to a school outside of Bangkok for a dedication ceremony. AMCHAM's Young Professionals raised money to build a new playground, as well as supplying new books and furniture for the school's library. Our group was there for the ceremony which included; passing out toys and candy, watching the children perform a dance and taking a tour around the school grounds. It was a nice way to start our tour.

After leaving the school we headed out to the Siam Winery, Thailand's largest wine producer, to observe how wine is made. We walked through the factory, had lunch accompanied by a presentation, saw the floating vineyards and enjoyed some wine. It was a long, hot day but we both enjoyed the tour and meeting new people.
