The mysteriously missing king of Thai silk left as a legacy to the world his beautiful house, which now accommodates a remarkable museum of antiques.
The Jim Thompson House, Bangkok
The amazing story of Jim Thompson, as well as his famous house, will not leave anyone indifferent. Jim Thompson dedicated his life to the study of the original Thai culture, engaged in the search and restoration of various antiques. Thus, he managed to gather an impressive collection of antiques.
