The third time I went to Bangkok, I started looking for some places I hadn't been to, including the Kimpson Museum. We took a taxi from the hotel for 100 baht. Although the museum was on a small road, the driver was familiar and sent it to the door. This is one of the four major museums in Bangkok, the entrance fee is not low, 200 baht/person. Kim Thompson is an American, but Thailand's King of Thailand, this is the story the museum wants to tell people. Originally, Kim Thompson was sent to Thailand by the CIA during World War II, and was deeply influenced by Thai culture. He stayed in Thailand after retiring. He tried to push the loose Thai silk industry to the world, thereby winning the title of the king of Thai. The museum is Kim Thompson's former residence, and its architecture incorporates the early Thai court style, surrounded by tropical crops, like a botanical garden. The visit has outdoor indoors, the indoor part is mainly some collections, and you can see many Chinese utensils and furniture. Indoor visits must be sent to packages, no photos, and shoes are taken off. The museum management is still in place. The tour room is led by the interpreter, specially equipped with a Chinese interpreter. There is also a restaurant and merchandise department in the museum.

    A visit to Jim Thompson house is a must in Bangkok. Don’t miss walking along the canal to see the graffiti and the Jim Thompson museum next door. You will get free entrance with you Jim Thompson tour ticket. This is the first time we took the children (6&8) and they loved it too especially when connecting the planning of the house to Minecraft building and giving them cameras to take their own photos. Will definitely visit again.

    Jim Thompson's house walked a ~ for the first time in Bangkok more than a decade ago and bought several silk scarves, clothes and bags. I have known this Tess brand for a long time. This museum has also been in the collection for a long time. The ticket for punching in ~ seems to be 200 baht per person. English, Mandarin, etc. have special explanations. The mysterious missing owner, various collections of antiques, make there a sense of mystery here. There are souvenir shops that are 30% off, and there are restaurants.

    Excellent museum, a traditional Thai tick wood house full of antiques and artifacts collected by Jim Thompson. You can feel his love for Thailand and Indochina cultures in this house. Definitely worth a visit when you stay in Bangkok. The Jim Thompson store and restaurant in the same domain are disappointing though.

    Jim Thompson was an American businessman who moved to Thailand and later introduced the world to Thai silk. He mysteriously disappeared in Malaysia in his 60s, but left behind an amazing legacy. The Jim Thompson House Museum preserves his story as well as his beautiful home and treasured antiques. The admission ticket comes with a tour of his home, and the gift shop includes many beautiful Jim Thompson Thai silk goods.

    A green-covered complex, the former residence of renowned American silk entrepreneur and art collector Jim Thompson. The entire building is a typical Thai garden consisting of six ancient Thai houses suspended on a small canal. It is also Thailand's most famous Tess store and museum, collecting and exhibiting a variety of high-end Tess. It features Jim Thompson's collection of artworks, such as home decorations, porcelain, etc., not only Thailand, but even across Asia.
