This is an extremely popular tourist destination in Bangkok, conveniently located near Siam Square, but tucked down a lane beneath the National Stadium BTS station. The property features the home of legendary businessman and pioneer in the silk industry, Jim Thompson. The property is home to a series of traditional Thai houses that were a venue to many legendary social soirees during the 1940s and 50s. There is a large amount of information here, as well as some truly amazing pieces of art. An adjoining museum allows visitors to purchase all manner of top-quality silk.
