Jim Thompson House
A house belonging to the late James H.W. Thompson who came to Thailand as an officer in the US force during World War II. The name Jim Thompson became
synonymous with Thai silk. He had arranged for dismantling of ancient teak houses from various places and reassembled it on the bank of Sansap Canal in Bangkok.
Inside the house is a wide collection of impressive range of art works with tastefully displayed Asian art, including Buddha images, paintings, ceramics, and antique
furnitures. The living areas have been preserved as they were when Thompson once lived. Jim Thompson mysteriously disappeared during a visit to theCameron Highlands
in Malaysia in 1967 and thus his legend began.
