Jim Thompson House, Bangkok

A house collection of household name Jim Thompson in Thailand. With a great collection of Thai and Chinese antiques. He redesign the architecture in a organic way to make 3 houses into one. The wooden structures are just so fascinating to watch. You can also enjoy the canal beside the house. A great number of female tour guides will take you to a tour in Thai, Chinese or English(I feel like they have more languages). They will answer all your questions.

Wanted to visit his house for a long time and finally this time I've managed it. Loved the wooden ready-made houses connected with each other beside the canal. Beautiful maintained and in a very good condition currently. Loved the garden as well. Gotta have a house like this for sure. It's a very peaceful and serene environment around it. Must visit at least once for sure.

This was a great experience and I’d highly recommend it. The house is fascinating, full of beautiful artifacts and really wonderful architecture - both traditional Thai and Mr. Thompson’s more “modern” interpretations. The garden is very green and quiet and the tour guides were lovely and knowledgeable. Tours are available in quite a few languages. The restaurant is rated well, but I didn’t have time to visit. I’ll come to this place again on my next trip to Thailand!

This should be on your "A List" of places to visit in Bangkok. The success of the Thai Silk industry was due to this American guy. Entry cost is 200 Baht, and access to the main house is by 30 minute guided tour only. This is an extremely popular tourist attraction, but you shouldn't have a problem getting onto one of the tours. Many guides speaking a variety of languages are running continuous tours of the house. The collection of furnishings, paintings and porcelain are quite exquisite. There are several other huts within the garden containing artifacts which you can visit unguided. There is a restaurant on site next to a goldfish pond and of course a large shop selling Silk products.

Excellent guided tour through this historic house. Very well informed guide was pleasant and done a great job in taking us through the tour. Tours run every 30 minutes. No photography is allowed in certain areas of the complex. You'll also need to remove your shoes. After being to BKK many times and finally making it to the house museum, I'm very happy to be here. Well worth the effort
