Jim Thompson was an American whose love of Thai culture and silk helped to spread its appreciation across the globe. Here at his former residence, you can admire many traditional Thai wooden houses that have been assembled together to form one gorgeous (and not- so-humble) abode.

A visit here is a must  for any architecture and history lover. Your guide will also give you insight into Jim Thompson‘s disappearance, considered to be one of Southeast Asia’s greatest mysteries. It’s essential to book a tour here which you can do easily at the front desk of the building.
