Mysterious Museum: The Charm of Jim Thompson House

Hidden on Rama I Road in Bangkok, the Jim Thompson House is a museum housed in a traditional Thai-style residence, renovated by American entrepreneur Jim Thompson in 1959. He is renowned for his contributions to spreading Thailand's silk industry globally and is also famous for his mysterious disappearance in Malaysia in 1967. Highlights: - A cluster of six relocated traditional houses: Elevated structures surrounded by a beautiful garden. - Extensive collection: Thai silk products, Chinese ceramics, and ancient Southeast Asian artifacts. - Garden café: Enjoy Thai-style afternoon tea in a serene green setting. Access: A 5-minute walk from BTS National Stadium Station. Admission fee is 100 Baht for adults, and Japanese-guided tours are available. This tranquil space, blending historical architecture and serene gardens, offers a perfect escape from Bangkok's hustle and bustle. Highly recommended for those interested in architecture and art.
