Half-Day Tour of Jim Thompson House in Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand

Visit the Bangkok home of the late Jim Thompson during this 4-hour guided tour. The American entrepreneur helped revive the Thai silk industry in the 1950s and 1960s. Discover a perfect example of authentic Thai architecture in the complex of six traditional Thai-style houses.

After a morning pickup for your hotel, see the house that is a perfect example of authentic Thai residential architecture and Southeast Asian art. Admire the teak structures that were purchased from several owners and brought to the present location from various parts of Thailand. Completed in 1959, this magnificent half-day tour is dedicated to one of the most remarkable achievements ever made by a foreigner in Thailand. An achievement that is as miraculous as his later disappearance in Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands was mysterious.
