Marchesi del Monte S. Maria made the kind introduction to the Medici family who were simply enraptured by the quality and uniqueness of their Japanese silks.
The Medici’s declared that only Jim Thompson could produce better. The foursome now super flush with cash discovered the joys of grappa and the wines of Tuscany. Prince William and Jirachai joined the Jesuit monkhood, and for a couple of months. They shared a cell, learned of Christianity, and drank copious amounts of wine together.
