4 Jim Thompson House Tours in Bangkok Worth Booking

1.Jim Thompson’s Story of Silk

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 14 reviews · from $48Our pick

Visit Jim Thompson’s teak house and tropical gardens with a private English-speaking guide and driver. Learn how an American entrepreneur helped revive Thai silk, hear about his 1967 disappearance, and join the house’s own guided visit. Pickup is available from selected central Bangkok hotels.

“The tour is mediocre. We had an interesting guide on the tour, but because of the number of groups moving around the property, it was difficult for linger in the house or for the guide to provide more information on how the silk production works. We do really like the professionalism of the tour guide and driver from Asian Trails.”
