Nobody does not know Jim Thompson if they know Thai silk. This American first came to Thailand as a US armed force volunteer during WW II and returned to establish Thai silk business under the brand Jim Thompson. Having decided to permanently settle in Thailand, he bought 6 Thai-styled houses from Ayuthaya and reljocated them in Bangkok by Saensab canal. These houses have been well preserved to remind people of him including dining room; living room; library; guest rooms and Jim Thompson's bedroom.
The Jim Thompson's Museum, established after his disappearance in Malaysia, has never faded away from the Thais' memory.
Open daily between 09.00-16.30 hours.
