Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jim Thompson House, 6, Soi Kasem San 2, Rama 1 Road Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330 Thailand
Our guide will pick you up from your hotel either in the morning (around 9 am) or in the afternoon (1 pm) and head to the city centre for a stop at Jim Thompson’s House of Silk, the home of James H.W. Thompson, a self-made American entrepreneur who was the founder of the world renowned Jim Thompson Thai Silk Company.
Thompson’s achievements during his 25 year stay in the Kingdom of Thailand have won him much fame as the “Legendary American of Thailand”. Since his mysterious disappearance in 1967 in the jungle of Malaysia, little has changed in the home that was the ‘talk of the town’ and the ‘city’s most celebrated social centre’. Once his official residence, this complex of Thai-style homes and ornamental gardens is a fine example of authentic Thai architecture. The home was constructed by skilfully combining multiple Thai houses. Even today, this museum contains an impressive collection of art, collectables and antique objects continues to be a key stop for visitors to Bangkok.
