Real Traveler reviews for Jim Thompson's House and Museum

More information on Jim Thompson's House and Museum

This small, but fine museum is the former home of the man who saved the Thai silk industry from collapse. Constructed from six different traditional teak houses, the walls were reassembled. Inside you will find Jim Thompson's beautiful collection of art and artifacts from Thailand and Southeast Asia. The guided tours are extremely informative and the grounds have a bar and exhibition area. A must-see, especially when you consider all the mystery surrounding Thompson's disappearance.
