Jim Thomson House Half Day Excursion
One of the best examples of traditional Thai residential architecture and a breathtaking collection of
Southeast Asian art are exemplified in a house built by an American national. Nonetheless, Jim Thompson's
House is one of Bangkok's more popular destinations for visitors - and deservedly so.
Jim Thompson, who was born in Delaware in 1906, fell in love with Thailand while posted as an intelligence
agent in Bangkok during WWII. He later made it his permanent home and started a business supplying fine Thai
silk to overseas fashion houses, single-handedly saving what had been a dying cottage industry. His silk
company continues to flourish today. With the proceeds of his success, Thompson collected an impressive range
of art works, and sections of derelict teak houses, assembling them into a teak house/museum complex set in a
lush garden alongside central Bangkok's Saen Saep Canal.
