Thai spice, aircraft galleys and CMU

Our first tour of the day was to a small Thai company called Siriruang Ampai. They package/manufacture Thai herbs, spices, curry and some “herb sets / soup mixtures”. They were the first company to give us actual product … so all of our trained Thai chiefs will soon be making Tom Yum Gung! Our next tour was of Driessen Aircraft Interior Systems a Dutch company that is held by the French company, Zodiac Aerospace. They manufacture aircraft food galleys and associated equipment for both Boeing and Airbus. It was an impressive operation. Finally, we went to Chiang Mai University to tour the Industrial Engineering Department and see other highlights of campus. CMU is one of the largest in Thailand with 37,000 students and is located in a beautiful area.
