The Jim Thompson House in Bangkok, Thailand, is a museum dedicated to the life and work of Jim Thompson, an American businessman who played a key role in revitalizing the Thai silk industry in the mid-20th century. The house consists of a complex of six traditional Thai-style teakwood houses that were brought from different parts of Thailand and assembled in Bangkok. It is surrounded by lush gardens and located along a canal, offering a serene escape from the bustling city. The museum houses an impressive collection of Southeast Asian art and antiques, reflecting Thompson's keen interest in the region's culture and history.
