In the picture gallery there are watercolours , got from Dr Chandler, of scenes of everyday Thai life in the 1860’s such as “threshing rice”. Is it possible to get copies of these watercolours
I’ve been in Bangkok few years ago and I really loved it. So I will definately come back, thanks for sharing place I haven’t seen, for my Bangkok list for the future 🙂
I went to the restaurant for dinner (didn’t get to the house in time while it was open), and had a blast! I wish I got to see the house/museum itself – oh well, all the more reason to head back to Bangkok!
Really interesting to learn about a man I hadn’t heard of before now – but he sounds to have played a really big part in the community of Bangkok for the time he lived there until he disappeared. It’s nice that they turned his house into a museum to preserve his memory and collection of art and antiques. Thanks for the feature – I would love to visit 🙂
What a stunning home! I’m heading to Bangkok in about two weeks and this made me even more excited for my upcoming adventures. This looks like a nice destination to add to our list. It looks really beautiful – I would love to see the cultural presentations!
Thanks so much for this interesting article about the Jim Thompson House. I was in Bangkok, earlier this year, but run out of time and didn’t get a chance to visit the house. Did not realize his house is actually six structures from all over the country. Fascinating. The story about his disappearance is certainly very mysterious. Thanks for the preview of what I missed 🙂
Oh wow, I wish I knew about this place when I was in Thailand, a friend who traveled with me at the time would have loved this place. Well now I know the next time I go to Thailand Jim Thompson’s house will now be on the list
This area has so much history! I’ll admit that I’ve never heard of Jim Thompson before reading this, but I’m definitely curious to learn more! Especially, after reading he mysteriously vanished.. so weird!
What an interesting story and place to visit! Seems like a little garden oasis with a lot to explore! I’d be interested to see how the 6 different pieces fit together and flow. Thanks for sharing! We hope to visit Bangkok in the future and would definitely check this place out.
I live in Bangkok for 4 months and super close to Jim Thompson house but never had the chance to visit 🙁 Ill make sure to visit it next time. The architecture is so grand. Would love to see it 🙂 Also, I remeber there are a Jim thompson stores selling fine items(clothes etc). Super nice but so expensive 🙂
We actually wanted to visit the Jim Thompson house when we were in Bangkok some years ago, but then Songkran happened 😀 We want to go back next year though and then it’s definitly on the list 😀 Thank you for this great article!
This looks like a very interesting place to visit. I really like the overall architecture and the idea of bringing together different styles from different parts of the country. I can see why it’s considered to be a national treasure.
I haven’t been to Bangkok but when I do, this will be one of my stops for sure.
