Jim Thompson was a Military intelligence officer who was a great fan of Thailand. He build a very traditional house in Bangkok and went into the silk business. He then disappeared while travelling in Malaysia, a little later his house became famous for the traditional way it was build an was made into a museum. A must visit in Bangkok for only 200bath you can visit the little houses and the main house. After your visit you can eat and drink something in the near restaurant or take a stroll around the garden area and take some pictures. Inside the house is is prohibited to take pictures! All in all a good experience

What an interesting visit to this beautiful house. Well incorporating Thai tradition in architectural design and interior decorations. The seamless flow between the house and the beautiful garden is my favourite. The onsite restaurant is also very good and serves good wine and meals. The Jim Thompson store is a good stop for luxury gifts. Enjoy
